Passport expiry date less than 6 months before lodging 887

[ozpursuit]

Hi,

 

I intend to submit an 887 application by the end of June. By that time, my passport validity date will be less than 6 months (my passport expires 19 January 2017). Will the system (immi account) allow me to lodge a valid application despite my passport validity being less than 6 months?

 

My plan is to renew my passport after lodging a valid application. I understand that I can renew my passport first before lodging an 887 application but processing for a new passport takes 1 to 2 months. I want to save myself that waiting time.

 

Thanks for the help, anyone.

 

Regards

British Passport Office (https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport) quotes a much shorter turn around on passport renewal. Why not get it sorted before you apply for the 887 then the visa will be attached to your new passport. Much more convenient than having a visa attached to a superseded passport.
