Hi all, just come to my notice that my sons u.k. passport runs out in June, when we get it renewed will we have to send it off to AHC in London again to get his PR visa re stamped in it

When your passport with a valid Australia permanent residence visa expires, the visa does not become invalid. You may choose to have your existing visa reprinted into your new passport (processing fee applies), or you may merely carry your old passport (with valid visa) and your new passport together, whenever travelling in or out of Australia.

The AHC London do not normally re-stamp visas.

You will have to carry the visa in the old passport. It's ok as far as DIMA are concerned, but some airline staff get confused and won't allow boarding until they have got clearance from DIMA in Australia.

So leave plenty of time for check-in.

Once in Australia, get to a DIMA office and they will re-stamp the visa (no charge).
