Default Shiny new visa today - need a new passport now!

Hi All,

Had my new visa confirmed today , which was nice. My passport's about expired though, so I'll need to get another from Canberra. Got a couple of questions, if anyone's done this recently:

- Do I get to have my old passport back (with the corner removed or however they invalidate these days)?
- How do I go about getting the new visa re-evidenced in the new passport?

Cheers,
Alex

Yes, you get the old one back with the corner chopped off.
You take both passports to your local DIMIA office, and they will stick a label in the new one - I'm guessing yours would be Sydney? I took mine to Brisbane and they just did it on the spot, no appointment necessary, took 5 minutes. Getting the passport took about 3 weeks.
