Traveling on a nearly expired passport
Several months ago, I left my home country to work abroad. At the time of departure, I had > 6 months remaining on my passport, but now I have only about 2 remaining.
I want to take a brief trip outside of the schengen zone (where I've been working and have a valid work permit), to Turkey.
Am I likely to encounter problems traveling in this way?
I gather that normally one should not travel on a passport that has < 6 months remaining before expiration, but I had >6 months when I left my home country, and intend to return prior to expiration (i.e. all of my travel will occur with a valid passport).
