Should I renew my passport before renewing my visa if my passport expires in March 2025 and my visa needs renewal in June?
If my passport expires in March 2025 and I have to renew my visa in June this year .. is it best to renew my passport first before I renew my visa 🙏
Answer summary
It is advisable to renew your passport before applying for a visa extension. Since visa extensions cannot exceed the validity of your passport, and if you renew your passport after your visa extension, you might only receive a visa that is valid until your current passport's expiration date in March 2025. To avoid complications and ensure you get a full extension period, renewing your passport first is the best approach.

Your passport is useless after September as you need 6 month remaining to travel anywhere

Yes I would be definitely renewing the passport, as your extension in June will only be until March 2025 when your passport expires. No extension can be longer than the validity of your passport.

When you apply for an extension, you will that extension until the earlier date of a specified period (such as 1 year, etc) or your passport validity. (There is no such thing as an "application for getting remaining days after passport renewal".)
If you are applying for a 1-year extension and want to get a full year, you need to have a passport valid for longer than 1 year from the extension starting date.
If you are applying for a 1-year extension and want to get a full year, you need to have a passport valid for longer than 1 year from the extension starting date.
