Visa granted Child passport questions.
Hi guys,
Finally had my visas granted for myself and family,
They have their own visas dependent child.
The problem I have is I'm worried the passports are not long enough as the visa lasts 30 months and states your passport must last 3 months after you plan to leave.
The children have around a year and half left on their current passports.
Do I need to renew them as I plan to never leave! I'll be going for permanent resident when my current visa runs out.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Re: Visa granted Child passport questions.
No just apply for them before they expire (always have to have a current passport!) The process from NZ is so simple as they have changed it so you can do it online you even take a photo against a plain background at home and digitally upload it, it's fantastic, we applied sent the old one to the UK and received the new ones around 5 days later. It took longer to get the visas transferred to new new ones here than it did to get the new UK ones.
