Passport validity - visa renewal

[1948wjm]

I currently have yearly extension based on marriage and will need to renew this in August 2025, my current Aust passport will expire in July 2026, will I have any problems when renewing my current extension in August 2025 ??  Thanks for your kind feedback.

You will only get an extension good until the expiration date of your passport, not the full year.  So it's better to renew your passport before extending.

OP @nomad22 has posted correct answer.

If you wish to push the passport renewal off you can just opt to obtain next extension in Aug this year.

Would mean your extension valid till July 2026.

Your extension is for 11 and not 12 months.

As they say: up to you..

 

OP....I renewed my Oz pp last year. You can now do the process completely online.

Your  current pp is not posted with application. You maintain it.

Requires download form (Oz embassy Bangkok) has details.

Walk to post office and post to embassy.

Wait and new pp posted to your place of residence.

In my case from post to receive new pp was 20 days.

Walk in the park. No appointment no pickup etc

Don't understand your 'completely online' quote.

If online why do you have to post a form at the post office and post to an Embassy??

Maybe a rewrite is required here?.

You'll have no problems.  Your extension based on marriage will expire on the date that your passport expires.  I've just been though that.  The only oddity was that they gave me a two month "under consideration" which I sort of believe was to match up my extension to my previous extension expiration dates.  Should be no issues.  But check your expiration date when they hand you back your passport.  It should match your passport expiration.  If it doesn't, bring it to their attention.

Your country is not along.

Canada and USA (just to name 2) require old pp to be sent with application. 

Dark ages.

Yep - and it's a sort of scary feeling not having a passport in hand as well as trusting the mail system to transport your passports.  However, been though that dog-and-pony show last year with a US PP renewal without a hitch.

How long did it take? ~3 weeks? in total.
