Travelling with a passport that will expire in less than 6 months [closed]

I am an Australian permanent resident and I have booked a flight to Indonesia in November and by November, I will only have 5 months left before my passport expires. Is it fine to travel with it and for me to come back to Australia, considering I have permanent residency?

Best Answer

I recently faced the similar issue as well as I am Indonesian citizen residing in Germany. But from the immigration part they only asked that whether my passport will be renewed and where will it be extended as it is valid less than 6 months so hopefully it should be fine. The concern is now that to ensure the country you are residing should also be fine with your passport is valid less than 6 moths, but as long as you have valid visa in the residing country it should be fine.
