Hi all, I am due to renew my retirement extension soon but the passport that my extension is in now expires next March. However, I do hold a second passport that they can put my renewal into. Is there anything special I need to do or is it just a case of take both passports and tell them which one to put the stamp in? Also, is there an extra charge for this?
Thanks in advance.

UNless I'm totally mistaken people who hold two passports from the same country (which happens quite a lot actually) can't switch passports like that when they get new extensions.
I do not believe they'll let it fly. and you'd need to renew THIS passport and then transfer the stamps to the new renewed one
report back if you would and let us know what they say,
I know when people have two passports of different nationalities immigrations won't budge on swapping. BUT the two passports from the same country may fly or it may not ๐ .
Good Luck with it (y)

Worst case what's gonna happen (if they say you can't use the second alternate passport and need to renew this current one) is that they'll give you a new extension until the passport the extension is in runs out (March 2023) and then that becomes your new 'renewal date' every year.

The extension of stay can ONLY be extended to the expiration date of your passport...which is in March 2023 per your post.
