LONG LIVE TIMATIC !! This way I'll save a lot of time and money IMMI website says it should be okay if I keep both passports http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/95documents.htm#g It's only the new passport won't have the same number as the expired one - the old one was before Egypt started to issue MRPs, and as the new one will have totally different serial ...

Timatic ... don't know what it's but hope it helps. Can I ask you another favour Loja ... could you also ask your beloved Timatic what might happen if I cannot renew my passport on the way back to Australia ?! My passport would be still valid for about two month by then. Though I honestly honestly intend to renew it ... I'm only wondering what might happen just in case Maaaaaaany Thanks Roky

A sample from airelines terms and conditions ... it says that traveller should have a validty as accepted by the travelled country ... (in wich case my home country, which will let me enter no matter how long my passport is valid for) Wondering why would the airlines still require me to have 6 months validy in my passport !!

Arrrrgh ... not really happy to hear this .. but thanks for the info Loja ...

Hello Everybody, Well, I haven't been here in a long while, so as a quick update, I'm an Egyptian, and have got a PR. I'm not an AU citizen yet; so I'm still using my home country passport. My passport expires in December this year, and I intend to go overseas for a few weeks to visit my home country and come back in October. By then my passport should be still valid for another 2 month when I come back to Australia (furthermore, I intend to renew it while I'm over there). I rang IMMI the other day and they said they would let me in if my passport is still valid -no matter for how long. Yet they said I should check with the airlines too. I heard that the airlines won't carry me unless my passport is valid for at least six month AFTER the return date !! would that still be true even if I have a PR Any thoughts on this ! Roky
