Visa Stickers/Renewing Passports
Hi
Have already had Visa stickers placed in UK Passports, and we are looking to validate the Visas next February.
Our daughters' UK Passports expire a few months after that, so we need to get them new Passports before we validate.
What's the best approach regarding their Visa stickers? Hang on to the old Passports to take with us, or send off to the Australian Embassy for new ones when they get their new UK Passports?
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers
Karl

Alternatively phone the Aus High Commission in London and see what they say.

Thanks Trish. The £1 per minute for the High Commission brings me out in a cold sweat (and a colder sweat for the £1.50/min for the UK Passport Service)!!

Re: Visa Stickers/Renewing Passports
Well - finally sent my daughters' old passports off to be renewed last Thursday. Replacements (and originals with stickers) were delivered this morning (Wednesday). A weekend inbetween, and coming just after the mail strike - I'm impressed!!
Less impressed at the cost - £116 for 2 passports (1 adult + 1 child)
