There is sun, swimming in turquoise water, and discovering the local heritage on the agenda.&nbsp;Your luggage is ready.&nbsp;Everything seems fine.&nbsp;But a few days before departure, while you are gathering your travel documents, you look at your passport to discover, bewildered, that it has expired.&nbsp;What should you do?&nbsp;Can you travel to Europe with an expired passport?&nbsp;We will explore this question here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stays in the European Union are governed by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/FR\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3A32004L0038\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"external\"><strong>Directive 2004\/38\/EC<\/strong><\/a>, of \u200b\u200bApril 29, 2004. It is very clear: &#8220;Union citizens should have the right to reside in the Member State of reception for a period not exceeding three months without being subject to any condition or&nbsp;<strong>to any formality other than the obligation to possess a valid identity card or passport<\/strong>, without prejudice to more favourable treatment applicable to job seekers, according to the case law of the Court of Justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But another, much older text directed a passenger and her son be compensated after a company refused her boarding for a flight to Greece.&nbsp;The Court of Cassation ruled in their favour based on&nbsp;<strong>the 1957 Council of Europe treaty<\/strong>&nbsp;which stipulates that nationals of signatory States &#8220;may enter the territory of others and leave it by all borders under cover of the &#8216;one of the documents listed in the annex&#8217;.&nbsp;However, &#8220;according to the appendix to the European Agreement on the rules governing the movement of persons between the member countries of the&nbsp;<strong>Council of Europe [which moreover includes more countries than the EU]<\/strong>&nbsp;, any French person can go to a Member State with a national passport of the French Republic<strong> valid or expired for less than five years<\/strong>&#8220;, stated&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legifrance.gouv.fr\/juri\/id\/JURITEXT000041585769\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"external\"><strong>the judgment<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are the same deadlines for Austrians or Belgians.&nbsp;For Germany, again according to the appendix to the text, it is possible to travel to other member countries of the Council of Europe with a passport that expired up to one year ago.&nbsp;For details for each state, go&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedlex.admin.ch\/eli\/cc\/1967\/845_886_880\/fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"external\"><strong>to this page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, in the event of a dispute, the law can be on your side.&nbsp;But we still advise you don\u2019t attempt to travel to Europe with an expired passport: it is better to go on vacation with peace of mind and a valid document than to bet on possible compensation.&nbsp;The onboard staff and other customs officers are not lawyers, so you will likely be refused entry into the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">French identity cards and periods of validity: find out about your destination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short word, to finish, on the national identity card, which is valid (just like the passport) for traveling within the Schengen area.&nbsp;On January 1, 2014, their period of validity was increased from 10 to 15 years for adults, only this extension was not recognized everywhere in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Few countries, in fact, officially recognize it:\u00a0these include <strong>Bulgaria<\/strong>, <strong>Croatia<\/strong>, <strong>Switzerland<\/strong>, <strong>Hungary<\/strong>, <strong>Greece<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/visit-italy-vacations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"internal\"><strong>Italy<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>Latvia<\/strong>, <strong>Iceland<\/strong>, <strong>Luxembourg,<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/visit-mdina-and-rabat-tips-for-a-beautiful-maltese-getaway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"internal\"><strong>Malta<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Many others have not commented.\u00a0Finally, some do not recognize it at all: this is the case in\u00a0<strong>Belgium<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Lithuania,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/visit-norway-fjords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-penci-link=\"internal\"><strong>Norway<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holidays are coming.&nbsp;You have rented a small villa in Greece with friends.
