I am currently on holidays with my peruvian wife in Peru. She has stamp 4 ( married to an Irish national). She renewed her stamp in July 2014. It expires in July 2015. At this point she'll be given a 3 year stamp when she renews. However her passport expires in July 2016. So in accordance with the regulations, she'll only get in effect 1 year. (Naturally she has the re-entry visa as well).
So we were thinking of renewing her passport here while we are in Peru. However I am concerned that if we renew her passport while abroad, the Peruvian authorities while canceling her current passport and issue her an new one; may cause an issue for immigration authorities in Ireland. The old passport will have the stamps and re-entry visa but with a cancelled passport, I am not sure if this is acceptable to GNIB when re-entrying Ireland upon our return.
Naturally we could go through the consulate in ireland, forwarding her passport to London where the Peruvian Embassy is. However I've heard this is a slow route taking many months.
If at possible, I would like to renew her passport here in peru.
Does any have any experience here?
I plan to contact INIS but would welcome views and experiences from people here.
Thanks.
