Hi Robbie - correct, you will not be able to enter on that passport. You need to apply for a Temporary Passport, then get a full passport when you return.

Betty, you must renew it in your new name.

?f you have the return ticket that shows you will be leaving the country after 2 weeks, there should'nt be a problem at all.

If you have a US passport you can enter any Schegen country as long as you have at least 3 months on your passport. Take a look at the State Department's website.

If I have a resident permit for The United Kingdom, do I need a visa to enter Italy?

I'm a NZ citizen having my passport expiry on 22/11/10 and I'll be travelling to the UK, France and Italy in May. I'll be leaving Rome on 23/5/10 for HK (1 day short of 6 month) and I've got my air-ticket. Would that be alright for me or I need a renewal of my passport?

Hello
I am in a real predicament. I am due to fly to Rome (from London) on 1/5/10. I am Irish and my Irish passport expired six months ago. I have just applied for a renewal in my married name. The problem is that there is a dispute on at the moment in the Irish Passport office and I am being told I may not have my passport for another 12 weeks. The passport office will not issue emergency passports for any other reason other than genuine family emergencies e.g. sickness or death. My holiday is booked and paid for and it is for my nephew's wedding. Can anyone advise? Would the airline allow me to fly with expired passport or should I check with Italian Embassy? Regards.

MY son is travelling to Italy in march next year bur will only have months left on his passport on his return, does he need to renew it?

Friends keep telling me you need 6 months left on your passport. We are travelling to Canada and have been assured by Canadian Immigration this is not so for Canada. Can you confirm it. Their trips (seperate) were Bale/Italy and India

Hi Carol,
I'm not sure where you hail from, which makes specific advice difficult but have a look at this Passport and Visa Overview for Italy. Technically you should be fine to travel on your current passport. The reason travel authorities generally suggest having six months remaining is because sometimes ground staff apply different rules and you can be unlucky. Many countries actually specify that you need three or six months but Italy is not one of them.
