recently with our adult daughter on this very point.She still has a valid child's passport that we got before she turned 18.Her & her best friend are currently saving for a girls trip to Bali but she will only have 5 1/2 months left on her Aussie passport when they wanted to travel.It took a while for me to convince her that the laws of Australia mean her child's passport is valid for 5 years BUT the laws of Indonesian state she must have 6 months left on her passport upon entry to Indonesian.
She said " This sucks" that means I now have to save over an extra $200 plus now for a new adult passport.She's a bit annoyed but that are the rules - 6 months for everyone be they child or adult -from the date of entry.
