passport

Hi All, i'm coming to Croatia on the 26th May 2022 for a 10 day holiday.  I'm trying to confirm that my passport is valid.   It should be fairly easy but there is a lot of contradiction out there.  My passport was issued on the 09th Aug 2012 and the expiry date is the 09th May 2023.    The confusion comes from the 3-6 months, That the passport needs to be in date on the last day of your holiday.    Does this date apply to the issue date on your passport plus 10 years or the actual expiry date on your passport.

Your passport needs have 3 months left on it (3 months after the expiry date) AFTER the date you leave Croatia and also have been issued in the previous 10 years. So, your passport is fine on both of these counts.
