Beaty Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi all, We have 5 passports on our DIBP 190 Application being lodged towards the end of June 2017. One is 'up' on March 30th 2018. With the grants going so slooooww right now (June 2017) I'm wondering will it be an issue, if for example a CO was looking at the case around March / April 2018. So, would the Passport's relatively close expiration date be a problem for us? B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Our CO asked us to renew a couple off passports prior to grant, less hassle that way. But if a passport changes after the grant you need to let immigration know so they can like the visa to the new passport. Also if you are planning a stop off on the way over to Australia some countries require a minimum of six months validity for passports. In short I would renew as soon as you can without losing any months, I think you can do this up to six months ahead but do check. Keep your CO informed though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
