I have
NON-B visa
My renewel period is September
My passport expires May this year
Meaning i only received the visa up until old passport validity..
So far not a problem for me..
Due to the long administration of new passports i never stood a chance to get a new passport before September last year...
I was told that when i got the new passport we send it in and it would get updated.
This has been done as well..
My question is why do i only get until May as well in the passport when i paid for a years Visa..
Maybe just tough luck, but need to ask..
Plus will my workpermit not be very much unsynced now as that one is renewed in December directly after i receive my new Visa...
Now it will be 6 months inbetween...
Thanks in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about their NON-B visa's validity being restricted to the expiration date of their old passport, despite having paid for a full year's visa. It is explained that visa extensions are granted either for the validity of the passport or up to one year. Since the old passport was valid for less than a year, the visa's duration reflects that, and upon receiving a new passport, the existing visa duration does not change.
