How to link a renewed UK passport to Australian visa

How to link a renewed UK passport to Australian visa - Passport on Top of a Planner

I have just renewed my UK passport and it is now not linked with my Australian visa. I live in Australia. I have tried to tell home affairs but unable to get through. Does anyone know if it is possible to link the visa and UK passport yourself.



Best Answer

According to the Australian Immigration page Your passport details have changed:

You can tell us about changes in your passport details in two ways.

Applied online

Select 'Update details' > 'Change of passport details' in ImmiAccount.

Not all details can be updated online in ImmiAccount such as changes to date of birth or gender.

Applied on paper or unable to update online

If you applied on paper or can't update your details online, complete Form 929 - Change of address and/or passport details form (172KB PDF).

  • What happens to my Australian visa if I renew my passport?

    Your visa does not expire just because your passport does. But when you obtain a new passport, you need to contact the Department of Home Affairs so your current visa can be linked to your new passport. This does not happen automatically. Notification can be made through Form 929, or through the IMMI account.

    What happens to existing visa when passport is renewed?

    In case of passport reissue, the new passport will be released while the old passport will be cancelled and returned. However, any of the active visas on the old passport will still be valid and can be used till expiry of the particular visa.

    Can I apply for a visa while my passport is being renewed?

    You cannot travel while your U.S. passport application is still in pending or in process. The only way you can get a passport issued sooner is by applying in person at a regional agency. These agencies require an appointment. Your appointment date must be within 3 business days of your travel date.
