Hi I am travelling to Spain on 17th march for one week and my passport was issued on August 11th 2014 and runs out on August 11th 2024. It says it must be in date by 3 months from exit from Spain date but just wanted to check to make sure I have this correct.

    your passport need to be under 10 years old when you enter which it is
    your passport needs to have an expiry date at least 3 months after your exit - it you exit 24th March then it needs to be after 24th June....which it is

    Just checked my passport it was issued on February 11th 2014 but runs out on Aug 11th 24 so that means it's not valid is that correct.

    That's correct, you can't use it to enter an EU country after 11 February 2024 so will need to renew if travelling out in March.

    Correct, it's not valid for EU entry after Feb 11 2024.
