Entering Thailand On A Uk Passport

[Tobster_Tobz3]

Hi, I have a passport that is due to run out in a few months.

Can anyone tell me how many months validity is required on a UK passport to enter Thailand.

Thanks

Stuart

I beleive it is 6month but some places wont accept you without a full year left. Better you get a new passport asap rather than take the risk

I'm with Boo. Pretty sure it's 6 months but best to be safe, particularly as I believe the UK passport service are now offering up to 9 months credit against your unexpired passport (so you don't lose the remaining validity).

If you are getting a visa (advisable if you want to stay more than 30 days) your passport will need to be valid for at least the validity period of the visa.

The official line is 6 months validity of passport.

You should get a new passport when down to less than a year validity but IATA (on Delta Airlines site) says a UK passport should be accepted as long as it covers the period of stay. But, like the wind, that is something that could change. Much better to be safe.
