passport getting expired

[funnie]

is it possible to get a HK WP for one year if your passwport is getting expired in 10 months?

[PDLM]

Yes, no problem in principle.

When you get the new passport you can either get the visa transferred into the new one (for a fee) or simply carry both passports together.

Thanks PDLM

umm...I beg to differ.

if ur passport has 10 months left, HK will not issue a 1 year WP. They will issue a 10 month WP. <from personal experience>

Oh. so should need to apply for 10 months or 1 year?.

I agree with Pushan. The immd often will give you a visa that does not go beyond your expiration date.

Apply for 1 year.

apply 1 year, no need to transfer just carry two passports together if you are travelling back to HK, I do that too.

Since you did ask me the question, I will answer what Shri and sp1key have already mentioned.

apply for 1 year.
when you passport gets over and you get a new one, maybe you will need to apply for an extension of 2 months on ur WP, or apply for a fresh 2 year extension - I am not sure about this one yet as I have not reached that end-point.

1-2 months before the existing visa expires, go apply for a 2 year visa. (If your contract allows) Check with your company.
