Warning to anyone who still has a red passport

Holidaymakers have been denied boarding at the airport due to a small passport detail they may be unaware of.

After Brexit, most European Union countries no longer accept British passports issued more than 10 years before the date of travel, in what is known as the '10-year rule'.

If you are a national from a country outside the EU wishing to visit or travel within the EU, you will need a valid passport and possibly a visa. Your passport should be valid for at least three months after the date you intend to leave the EU and it must have been issued within the last 10 years.

This means your travel document must have been issued within the previous 10 years the day you entered the EU on the condition that it is valid until the end of your stay plus an additional three months.

These rules apply in 29 European countries:

1. Austria

2. Belgium
