Hi,

I would like to ask on what to do if my husband's passport is due for renewal.

He currently has the visa stamped on his passport and just wants to know what steps to do in case he will renew it as it is almost due for renewal.

Hoping for a faster response regarding this inquiry.

Regards,

Hannie Mae
