Hi all,

Please share your experience and advise with below's case:

Visa granted last Jan 2014.

After approval passport is damaged

Passport renewed

Booked ticket to Australia on 7th April 2014

Please advise if i need to update the DIAC re changes before our flight? (may nabasa po ako dati dito na may case na dinala lang ung old passport at kasama i present sa immigration sa Aus at wala namang issue.

Thank you.

Just bring your old and new passport, the airline will call Australia and will enter your new passport # to the system. I had my passport renewed before I made my first entry and didn't submit any forms, after 3 weeks my new passport # was updated in VEVO. HTH.

This happened to me. Qantas called up Immigration to update my details. Pero before that, our agent also already processed our change in passport details. Ang problema, everytime I check VeVo, it's still the old passport details. Even after the Qantas rep updated via Phone call, when I checked nung andito na kami sa Sydney, luma pa rin yung details. Well, we got into Australia hassle-free, medyo annoying lang na hindi pa updated yung details namin..
