    Hi all,

    I wonder if you guys could clarify something for me.

    I'm going on a small holiday to Stockholm, Sweden on the 21st January - 25th January. My passport expires on the 25th of February.

    Will I be ok travelling on this passport or will I need to get a new one?

    Thanks

    Within the EU passports are good to their last day, this is not always true for other countries which may require 3 or 6 months left on the passport.

    Where would I find this information?

    According to this you need three months left on it, since we don't have a National Identity card.
    Unless I'm reading it wrong?

    Yes you are reading it wrong, I quote from the same page

    'EU nationals are only required to produce evidence of their EU nationality and identity in order to be admitted to any EU Member State. This evidence can take the form of a valid national passport or national identity card. Either is acceptable. Possession of a return ticket, any length of validity on their document, sufficient funds for the length of their proposed visit should not be imposed'
