Passport Advice
Passengers arriving, or seeking to arrive, in the UK who are unable to produce evidence of their identity and nationality will be subject to delays while verification checks are made by UK Border Agency Officers. It is the passenger’s responsibility to ensure they have a valid travel document before starting their journey. Eurostar cannot offer advice regarding passport validity or visa requirements.
