Can i apply for DTV if my passport expire in 9 months ?

Thanks in advance
Answer summary
You generally cannot apply for a DTV if your passport expires in 9 months, as it needs to have at least 1 year of validity according to the E-Visa guidelines. However, if you have no other options, it may be possible to apply with a passport that has at least 6 months of validity, but it's required for the first entry to have that minimum validity. Carrying both passports during the application process may also be necessary.

NO, it must be valid for at least 1 year as mentioned on the E-Visa website

Certainly not ideal, but if you have no other option, it is possible to apply with the regular minimum of six months passport validity and carry both passports together with the visa, which remains valid for the full five-year period. The passport should have at least six months validity for the first entry.
