Passport Renewals :

Passport renewal refers to the replacement of a current or expired passport. It is a highly recommended practice to renew the passport six months before its expiry, because many countries require a visitor’s passport to have at least six months’ validity beyond the departure from their country.

Airlines also usually do not issue plane tickets to a passport with less than six months’ validity. Many embassies and consulates will refuse to issue a visa to passports with less than six months validity.
