Passport expires on June 30th. I'm in the 6th month of validity. Would that be fine?

Interesting to know. So now, when a passport is full of stamps, it's done and you have to re-apply, pay, and get a brand new passport? At this stage it won't affect me, but still doesn't seem fair. FWIW, I looked and I last had extra pages added to my US passport in Hong Kong in 2005. No charge.
My personal record in running out of pages was my last passport - it lasted a mere two years

in addition the format of our passports was reduced and there are pictures on some pages, where some immigration officers are reluctant to stamp....so overall the passports have now much less "real estate" for all the visas and stamps...

Anecdotal and sample of one, but I was denied boarding by TG a few years ago as I had 6 months minus 2 days validity of my passport.
IIRC I was supposed to be going from ICN to TPE, where Korea did not but Taiwan definitely did require 6 months. The passport scan triggered a warning in the system.
I would not take the risk.
