Your passport is supposed to be valid for 6 months AFTER expiry date of your visa.

If you enter on Jan 2, your visa will expire on Jan. 31 (30 days, not one month), so your passport has to be valid beyond July 31.

These are the rules.

Yes, a new passport takes away any obstacle.

So this means that when applying for a ONE YEAR Visa, the passport has to be valid for 18 months from the time the Visa is applied for. I had not known that but thanks for your information.
