Airport transit in KUL and DXB with 4 months on passport?

I am an Indonesian living in Germany. I will be traveling to Indonesia via Dubai and Kuala Lumpur. From Kuala Lumpur I will take a different airline. I just noticed that some countries ask for a 6 months passport validity to be able to enter the country. Does it also affect people who just stay a couple of hours for airport transfer? My passport expires in 4 months. Would it be a trouble if I don't renew it before traveling?

Best Answer

Since you are not going through the customs and not leaving the Airport you are considered as in an International zone, then I don't think it would be a problem as long as your final destination doesn't requires it.
