Family member due to visit for two weeks in September, now discovered UK passport expires January 2015. Will this be a problem. Does the passport need to be valid 3 or 6 months after return date. Thanks in anticipation of replies.

Would recommend they contact the Turkish Embassy in UK to be absolutely sure.

Looks like they need to have 6 months left before travel:

Our friends visited us from the UK 2 years ago and the lady only had 2 months left on her passport. She didn't have any problems coming over the border. I know for Turkey you need 6 months left.

From the foreign office yesterday says tourists travelling to Turkey must have a valid passport for at least 60 days from expiry date of their visitors visa as of January 2015.
