mahfuzul80 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi All, I recently renewed my passport since my previous passport going to be expired on October 2016 (same citizenship). In Form 80 (Ques 10), Do you have any other current passport or travel document? To answer this question, should I mention the details of my unexpired passport here? Please suggest.

Suzukiscottie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 On any passport we have renewed, the "old" passport has become void. They usually clip the corner off it. So the only valid passport is the new replacement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this reason, it is not void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok but when that passport expires oct 2016 in effect the visa goes with it as it is assigned to a then invalid travel document and I for one would not like to test that theory of validity with US immigration who can even give people a hard time just to transit through the US let alone stay there for any period.

No, it doesn't expire with the passport. I have a US visa in an old expired passport and it's accepted no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooba Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The US accepts visas in expired passports. It's on the immigration website explaining that as they don't re-issue visas because of expired passports and you need to bring both passports.

They are always courteous and friendly. My wife had worse issues with her NZ Passport at UK customs, they were so nasty she was in tears.
