Holiday problem... Any advice?

[BlueTaylor91]

I think we have messed up big time but hoping there is some light at end of tunnel or is it that we have messed up...

Speakng about holidays we wanted to book somewhere. Me and the mrs have passports. Applied for 2yr olds 1st passport about 3 weeks ago. Mrs went booking a holiday for 2023. Heres the kicker books for aug 2022 we have just realised. The holiday dates arnt a problem what is the little 1s passport.

Any advice or we clewrly screwed up?

Phone the passport office and tell them you are going away within the next 14 days and ask them to fast track it. Will depend when you are due to fly.
Also when did you book the holiday? If in the last 24 houts distance selling regs mean you are entitled to a refund

Does a two year old need a passport?
I’m sure when I was a kid you could travel on your parents passport until 16

There is a fast track option online but cause our application is in the system we cant re apply it says online. Wortha phonecall still?

If she says in a few days, oh well I'll go with a "friend" you stay home with the little one then start to worry ;-)

Good luck btw, have you tried asking if they will change the dates.

Yes she booked the holiday about 2 weeks ago we have just realised thid evening when shes received an email from TUI. Been through there T&Cs and basically nothing we can do in regards to date change/refunds etc

I applied online for new passport and I had my new one posted back to me in less than a week. Not sure if that's the norm at moment but I was amazed

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Can't you put the 2 y/o in hand luggage and blag it. A can of Fanta and a tube of Smarties should see him/her through passport control no problem.

100%. I'm fairly certain there is an option for those to choose if the flights within 14 days. If you get through to someome I would be asking for an appointment in person.

Fyi - the missus renewed in july and got it back in a week. So thet are processing faster.

Might be worth reading up on the Tui Covid policy too......
