THE MONEY SAVING EXPERT WARNED BRITISH HOLIDAYMAKERS OF TIGHTENING IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE 09:30, 22 May 2025 Martin Lewis returned to ITV screens for the summer special of


The Martin Lewis Money Show, turning his attention to holidaymakers jetting abroad in the coming months. His attention quickly turned to passports, as he shared two essential tips to ensure


your holidays are a pleasant journey. This is because immigration regulations continue to tighten around the globe, both in Europe and the USA. READ MORE: MARTIN LEWIS URGES MOBILE PHONE


OWNERS TO LOOK OUT FOR TEXT WHICH COULD MEAN BILL CUT A viewer named Mary recounted her distressing experience: "I am 80 years old and booked flights for me and my daughter. Her


passport had seven months until the date it expired. "When we were about to board she was refused entry. The airline was unsympathetic. I did not know about this. Whose responsibility


is it to pick this up?" Martin then warned: "I need to say something very important to everybody. "Border control and flight checks are getting more stringent, there's an


immigration issue going on around the world and that means countries are getting stricter on who they let in, so you need to be more diligent with your checks." He listed two crucial


passport checks "everybody needs to do on their passport". Martin added: "These are very important, this is about the day that you will enter the country. "The first


check is on the day you enter the country - are there less than six months left on your passport, or if you're going to the EU less than three months left? If so, that's a big


problem. "But, there's another rule - even if you had seven months left on your passport - if your passport is over 10 years old many countries won't let you in." In


order to avoid any potential issues after checking these points, the finance guru advised renewing your passport. He continued: "If it's 'yes' to either of those, then


the safest thing to do is renew before you go. It takes three weeks typically to get a new passport and it's cheaper to do it online. "But let me be honest, I'm hearing so


many cases like this. If I was seven, eight or nine months away and the rule was six months, I'd probably play safe and get a new passport first anyway." Article continues below


Wrapping up the point, Martin then turned his attention to the USA, urging Brits heading there, either for a holiday or just passing through, to fill out the ESTA now. "There are


tightened border security in the States and if you don't have this - your online visa - people are being denied entry, you need to be careful," Martin warned.
