My passport is due to expire in May of this year.

I'm going to Belgium for a long weekend in January will the expiry date of my passport cause me any problems?

Somebody told me that I need at least 6 months on my passport to travel abroad but I didn't think it applied to EU countries.

Anyone know for sure?

I did ask the government passport office but they couldn't help me, they said I should contact the Belgium embassy! Crazy!

Thanks in advance.
