Am I eligible for a Schengen visa if my passport will expire in 3 months?

I'm afraid the answer is no. Normally, visas require at least 6 months of remaining validity on your passport. You should renew it before applying, this is my advice. My girlfriend is from Russia and when applying for a Schengen Area visa, among the requirements she found the passport remaining validity of at least 6 months.

I just went to Germany with this condition. my last day in germany was 23th Arpil and passport was about to expire in next 93 days. So, I think it is safe to travel if passport is valid for next 90 days. Though, You should not wait for such conditions rather be proactive and get your passport renewed.

The rules are very clear.

Your passport must be valid 3 months beyond the duration of stay in the Schengen area for which you don’t qualify

If you made your return on the 19th you may be approved but what happened to me before was that my wife was rejected even though her intended return was a clear week before the 3 months period but they still denied and asked for a new passport to be made.
