What If Applying For New Visa With Few Pages Left In Passport?

[arminbkk]

Would it be a problem when you apply for a new non imm O visa when you only have, say, 5 empty pages left in your passport?

Also, if one has an active visa and one has to get a new passport (because it is full), can one then just continue

with 2 passports (old and new), i.e. enter/exit showing both passport (for as long till the visa expires)?

Or does one have to transfer the visa into the new passport (assumingly at CW immigration)?

Thanks

Only extensions of stay are transferred - you can continue to use a valid visa by showing it in replaced passport and new stamps will be made in the new passport.

Of course, when replacing passports, the old passport (in which the visa is) is usually perforated, this is no problem then?

And I take it a visa application will not be refused because one only has a few pages left in his passport?

You should make sure it is not perforated though any visa you expect to use - the covers and other pages can be if that is your countries procedure.

Out of interest was your multi O based on marriage and if so did you have to show financial details?

I'm sure my embassy will be cooperative in this respect.

Not sure what country you are from but if your passport is still valid for a long time to come, why not ask Embassy about just adding more pages?

Sorry for late reply ,, ive been in transit to my work,, I used an agent but only to submit the docs for me,, agent asked for 300k financials, i had 400k as planning on future trying to extend inside country but agent was not fussy about bank book being updated,, I've heard some reports that if yo go in person they don't always ask for financials in Sav
