Hi,
I am travelling to Thailand in April and return on the 4th May, My passport will expire on the 3rd Oct 2011. This means it will expire 5 months after i return. I have spoken with my travel agent who suggested i speak with the Thai tourist office in London which i have tried to get through to with no luck. We will be in Thailand for 17days so i believe no visa is required.
Does anyone know if my passport will be ok or if im going to have to spend the £100 to renew my passport??
Thanks.
Katie.
Hi Katie ... according to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, entry to Thailand is normally refused if you have less than 6 months passport validity remaining. As the validity requirement apparently relates to entry rather than exit then you may be okay, depending on your actual date of outward travel:

However, if you did renew now, you could have up to 9 months validity transferred from your current passport to the new one.
