Best Answer

Tom is correct in pointing out that your concern should be the visa application rather than the airline or immigration officers. The requirement is that your passport be valid for at least three months after your anticipated departure. If your passport validity is insufficient for your planned travel, you should get a new passport before making your visa application.
