jameskristie Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm about to apply for a 457 but my passport runs out in september, do i have to have a passport covering the whole 4 year period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If it runs out in September I would replace it now and they will add the remaining months on to the new one. As it's outside school holiday time it should be relatively quick or you can make an appointment for same day processing if you are near one of the passport offices. Alternatively you can wait and have the visa transferred later but it will be cheaper to do it while you are still in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameskristie Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 i've booked in fora premium 1 day job in 6 days time, so it would be possible to use the old visa then? I've kinda promised the new employer i'll sort paperwork as soon as it arrives, i'm sure 6 day wait will be fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Form 929 is the one to transfer between passports http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/929.pdf In my mind it would be easier to wait but it's a discussion you can have with your employer. Saw your other post so congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameskristie Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 certainly looks like waiting 6 days is the better option... thanks for the advice and the congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
