Can i still use my passport which expires 27/10/2020 for my upcoming trip in April - May?
Please correct me if i am wrong, I'm just lazy to apply for a new one.

Passport exp: 27/10/2020

Heading to: Singapore, Copenhagen, Iceland, USA and Taiwan
Arrive back 12 May

Look here: IATA - Personalised Passport, Visa & Health travel documentation advice

Put your itineries in and you can find out.

Note that sometimes check in staff impose a blanket 6 months even if it can be less as they can't be bothered looking it up.

Extract from Aus Gov website Homepage | Smartraveller :



Your dates don’t seem to comply with this advice...
As tempting as it is to just ‘hope for the best’, for peace of mind I think I’d get the passport renewed before departure.

Edit: Missed post #3 whilst composing #4...

Does the passport number change when i renew or does stay the same like a drivers licence.

A renewed passport has a new number.
