Thanks Cal as we speak I'm at work in Lismore sleepover shift in a house that is next door to where the floods stopped. I heard on the radio to 100.000 tons of people's possessions are being taken to the tip. This flood has affected everyone everything's changed thanks again

Thankyou very much ive just gone through all this on the advice of my travel agent. I need not of worried . thankyou

Thanks everyone. The American British passport relationship allows the British passport to be valid 6 months after it expires when travelling to or from America. Singapore requires six months on the passport whilst transiting through there. I have a new permanent resident visa from last September . It is a digital visa that digitally connects with your passport when travelling so its always available when changing passports. And yes i will have to spend time travelling to get a new passport when in the UK. Regarding using the old passport i did not want to disappoint my young son again with this trip i already had to cancel his family Christmas due to covid and being turned around at Singapore would be depressing. thanks everyone your a great reassuring resource of people that care and are knowledgeable . We still cant drive out of our rd unless one has a high clearance 4WD . we were stuck for about a month hence the problem. Just for a bit of background we had 50 inches 1300mm of rain in two days. We were flooded in before that. . Im a disability support worker in and around Lismore, 10 of my colleagues lost their houses and everything in them. my central work place was destroyed it employs 300 plus people. My friend had an office 50 feet above the river in Lismore her office was flooded by 1.5metres. 5000 homes went under up to the roof ( two storey) and every shop, servo, supermarket, cafe, restaurant , pub, chemists, all wiped out. We have been through a catastrophic natural disaster. Two years ago we were evacuated due to the bush fires then covid now this. Thanks everyone have a great day all the best John Tredrea

Thanks Cal. There are some lovelly people on this site. The passport office and the process of getting a passport once ev e ry ten years I find is a stressful and disempowering process for no reason. Why can't we get our passport renewed here like we used to. its such a one sided application that wastes time money and resources. Why do I need to have six months on my passport when (before they cancelled it ) i would of had 4 months left on it after i got back. I'm only going to the country i was born in to return to the country i migrated to 30 years ago. so have not been sleeping and was rude as they said that the emergency passport only lasted 21 days and I'm away for 24. therefore I could not have one. Anyway I'm going to try again in the morning when I'm not so stressed.This website offers me the support that my British government neglects to do so. thanks everyone. This process goes against all my common sense

yes thats true but im only there for three weeks and 3 days

thanks for replying

im not an Australian citizen i dont know how to delete the phone number

My reception is not very good here so please ring back if bad signal

i need a migration expert . My mother was seriously ill last nov and i arranged to go to the UK with my young son on 23 dec. On the 20 i cancelled the trip due to the pandemic in the uk 200.000 per day. I rescheduled it for the 10 April till the 4 may . By doing so my passport which expires in August was not valid to travel because it did not have 6 months left on it. So when i was due to apply in time in the middle of feb We got a catastrophic flood in Lismore which cut power phone internet and and trapped us on our property for three weeks and left me with a month to do it. i applied and paid for a emergency passport to get to the uk this process invalidated and cancelled my passport and the emergency passport only lasts 21 days so they said i could not use it and that now i have to apply from scratch for a new passport instead of renewal . which means lots of documentation like birth certificates that i dont have. My mother is still holding on just and my ten year old son is looking forward to it i dont want to cancel it again can someone please help. im 61 next week and honest.
