Martin Lewis has issued a warning to anyone with a holiday coming up over a passport rule which he claims most people are unaware of.
The money saving expert appeared on ITV's This Morning to offer up some holiday advice to anyone planning on going away this summer. His first warning was for people not to assume their passport is valid for travel.Different countries have different rules when it comes to passport validity so it is always worth checking travel advice before you head off to your destination.
Martin explained: "You also need to check that your passport is not over 10 years old on the date that you enter. You used to be able when you renewed your passport to take what you had left on your old passport and add it to your new one so you got more than 10 years. But now many countries will not let you in if your passport is older than 10 years."
In a warning to holidaymakers Martin said: "This is not a small thing. People do their flight and then get sent back, they get sent back and you can't travel. I know someone it happened to in Dubai because of the 10 year rule."
