Passport problems
On the news today, a 77 year old ex BMN man was on his way to take a cruise to USA
Trevor. Bamford, does any one know the name, was told he could not go and handed a letter explaining why.
His UK passport had 10 years and 7 months on it.
It was new with a carry over of 7 months from the old one.
EU law only allows for maximum of 10 years. The ship was to call into an EU port on the way to USA
Had to pay then to fly to USA where he has relis he was to meet up with.
