Expiring Passport
Does any one know what happens when your british passport with your oz PR visa expires, how can they tell from your new passport that you have an OZ visa?
I am particularly concerned because mine is likely to expire between the time of validation and final move. I understand that you can not renew the passport until six months before expiry

Hi,
They now give you nine months credit on your passport they're encouraging people to apply earlier.
Check out www.passports.gov.uk you can renew online too.

Re: Expiring Passport
You can renew your passport now you'll just loose a few months off the ten years validity.

Re: Expiring Passport
We certainly renewed ours with more than six months, I seem to recall that one of my Daughters has two years left on it.
Just did it to save hassle later on.

As I understand it you can just keep your old passport with the visa stamp in it and take it with your new one to show Customs.

My situation is even more complicated as my daughter will be 16 in Dec and her passport expires in March 05.
If I renew now it has to be a child but at 16 they sign for themselves so I don't even know what form to fill in!
I'm going to ring the passport office and ask ideally if all passports are new its less hassle.
Whats another form to fill and another photograph as we are doing so many!
