ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I have a DTV visa, however my passport is due to expire within 1 year. So, I was thinking of getting the passport renewed. 

But I'm worried would it cause any problems as I haven't used the visa yet, or carrying the blank new passport with the old one suffice.

Thanks 😊

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user with a DTV visa is concerned about renewing their passport that is due to expire soon. They seek clarification on whether renewing the passport, given that they haven't used the visa yet, would pose any issues and if carrying both the new and old passports would suffice for travel.
