5 years Parent visit visa passport expiry question

[naveediiqbal]

Hi All, I need some guidance related to passport expiry when applying for 5 years visit visa for my parents, their passport is expiring in December (10 months from now). Please advise me if we need any longer validity to apply for a 5 years visit visa.

No need. The 5y visa if granted will still be valid when the passport expires. They just need to carry both old and new passports when entering the UK.
