12. Be sure to renew it early

A passport becomes seriously restricted for travel six months prior to its expiration. In many countries, a tourist visa (stamp) is valid for six months so you can’t get the visa if your passport will expire.

I think you can apply any time in the last year of its validity.

Good luck!
