I'm looking to go to Amsterdam at the end of March 2017 for a few days to see the tulips. My passport runs out in august 2017.

I've been told that i need 6 months on my passport but thought that was only for the US.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Your passport will be fine.
In Europe they are valid right up to the expiry date.
Passport will be no problem for Europe.
I'd think more about April than March for the tulips.
nope your passport rehearses your right to free movement

( even tho etc etc you may have voted to exit Brexit and keep all those Johnnie Foreigners out )

theoretically you have the right to just march ( ha ! ) into Holland without a passport but as one border official said - I would nt try that if I were you
[ the immigrant just had his brit driving licence as proof of identity ]

I took a job in Holland and said on the first day
my passport means it is lawful for me to be employed by you
and the employer said yes I agree
your passport may expire but under current law your right to enter holland does not

[ ironically this is a subargument on the high court Brexit case - the fact that the minister flourishes a signature - does that mean that your rights under treaty law are extinguished ?
and the high court said "no - it needs an act of parliament for that
and honestly that has been the case since 1687 doesnt anyone read books nowadays ?"
Nothing to do with Brexit.

You do not have the right to enter another EU country without proof that you are a citizen of an EU member nation.The UK is not part of the Schengen area and borders between the UK and elsewhere in the EU (with the exception of Ireland) are policed. You have the right of entry but have to prove your credentials as a citizen of an EU country. You may try entering with some other form of identity but you will almost certainly be unsuccessful.

Your passport is valid for cross border movements within the EU until its expiry date.
