Is my UK passport valid for Spain?

To enter Spain, your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after you leave Spain.

Your passport must have an expiry date at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area, and a date of issue less than 10 years before the date you arrive.

🛂 Visa: No visa needed for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180).

✈️ EU travel: the EU is introducing the EES (biometric entry/exit checks) and ETIAS (a paid visa-waiver authorisation — not a visa). Start dates have shifted, so check gov.uk before you go.
