Is it a problem to travel with a passport that has an extended expiry date?
I will be traveling to Melbourne, Australia with my old passport which has an expiration date that has been extended for 2 years. Do I need to do anything? I asked some of my friends who went to Australia and they said no issue. I've looked at the website and it seems that I need to submit Form 929. My flight is 2 weeks time.
Best Answer
It would be advisable to file Form 929 as, in comment, you advised that you had an earlier visa application associated to your passport, albeit with a now-different expiry date.
As Australian Immigration and Border authorities note:
You need to advise the department of any changes to your passport details before and after a visa is granted to you. Where a new passport has been issued or you hold an additional passport(s), you need to provide a certified copy of the bio-data page of this new or additional passport(s) with this form in order for the department to confirm your identity.
