Passport validity for travel on spouse BRP

Post by ray_of_li » Sat Dec 18, 2021 1:20 pm

Hi ,
Hope you all doing well. I have a spouse BRP which is valid till the Dec of 2022. And my passport is valid only for the next 5 months. I have to travel urgently abroad for about 3 weeks on returning back my passport validity will be 4 months. Will I have problems with immigration on returning back with 4 months validity in my passport?

Reason why I am asking this question is because I understand few countries require the passport to be valid for atleast six months.

Thanks

No you shouldn't as long as you have a valid leave in order to return to the UK.
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

However, you will require a valid passport at the time of making the application. Therefore, do consider renewing your passport.

Not necessarily, you can still apply even if your passport is not valid. The immigration rules does allow people to apply for this by explaining the reason behind why they are unable to provide a valid passport.
