Transitting through DXB on Emirates with a nearly expired passport

[RSD]

In Jan 2023 I've got to fly to Oz on EK from CAI to MEL via a two hour stop in DXB and my passport will have less than six months validity as it expires in May 2023 - will that be a problem? (plan is to apply for a new passport once I get to Oz - hopefully the wait time will be back to normal by then).

What passport is it and how long are you planning on staying for? If it’s Australian no problem. If not Australian then yes may be a problem - Australia just says must be valid for your stay but Emirates may have other ideas. Prepare to argue your case If you’re staying longer than May 23.
