Passport is expiring in next 1 year

Post by ssm4u » Thu Aug 26, 2010 11:46 am

Hi,
my company is planning to apply for a workpermit for me in the next one month. The workpermits are generally granted for a period of 3 years.
But my passport is going to expire in the next 1 year. Will it be a problem. And what should I do in that case.

Is there a way to apply the new passport in advance before 1 year

Thanks for your answer.

Need some more answers :

1. Does that mean the UK work permit can only be issued till my passport validity or more than that?

2. Incase the work permit validity is more than the passport validity and I resissued my passport, do I need to apply for fresh visa or I need to carry my old passport.

Please reply in detail

1. (Remaining) validity of passport has no bearing on the length of the sponsorship / entry clearance granted.
2. Carry both passports, no problem. Or get it transferred to your new passport. Either way, your choice.
