Renewing my WP and ext' of stay- changing passport question

[davidst01]

My ext' of stay based on marriage and my WP is due for renewal on the same date soon. 

 

My passport has a stain on the photo page and I read that some countries could reject me at the airport due to this. Should I rush and get the passport changed now before doing the above OR just do it later after my ext' of stay and WP is approved?  I think it doesnt matter?? Maybe a bit of hassle if Im lazy and do it later this year?  

 

Can I safely assume that the labor dept' will not know or care after my new WP is extended another year soon? Is it only immigration who will transfer the stamps over for another fee?

 

thanks for opinions

i would get a new passport, go to immigration and transfer my visa and extension to the new passport. Transfer visa should be free if not nothing more than 1500

 

do it, dont think, dont be lazy. safety first
