mine doesn’t expire until 2030, but worried about running out of pages. Initially had a passport for 2014-2024, but because of pages, had to get new ones in 2017 and 2020(month before COVID). So I don’t think my current passport will last 5 more years (maybe 2)
It isn’t one visa, it is two applications, 1 based on work (or soft power) and 1 based on spouse of the first applicant. So, yes, pay 10,000 each (most embassies charge more though) and need to show 500k each
