Personally I wouldn't travel anywhere with a passport that is set to expire
in less than 6 months. And even so I would check first with my destination's
embassy to make sure it was enough time. The general reason for this is that
usually countries will want you to have your passport with enough time in it
so that once you are in the country you could ask for an extension of stay
and your passport still be valid after the extension period.
