For everyone information, I sent my daughter's renewal form on 7Apr, arrived their office on 11Apr and I got it back last night. The old passport comes this morning.
So it takes a total of 11 weeks, end to end.
I think I will renew my own passport later after the chaos in the passport office has been settled.
Will be calling the British Consulate today, but in the mean time, does any body have any idea regarding the option to extend your passport for 1 year? My daughter's passport is expiring in August, but her HK visa is expiring in July. I know, I overlooked the visa expiry date.
Any information appreciated, thanks.
I think the consulate is the place that can extend - and when you've done it can you report back on how it went?
the world and his wife are trying to speak to someone in consular emergencies at the moment!
if you have a sec/pa/bored and helpful friend and a speakerphone - take advantage!
Actually was lucky and got someone in the first go. It is possible to get an extension for one year but not in my daughter's case as need 3 empty pages in the passport, and hers is full with China visas. So have to renew her passport. Called the HK immigration and they were very helpful, said to go down to HK Immigration office and explain situation and not to worry as many people in the same boat.
