Mekong Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Most ASEAN countries are 5 years I think. My uk passports are 10 years and some months. Not sure how they figure it. If a UK Passport is replaced before renewal date you get the difference between renewal date of new passport and expiry of old one added to the ten years up tp a maximum of 9 months. This OK for occasional Travelers since if they renew at say 9y 6m on old one than get 0y 6m on the new one but for expats / frequent travelers it means jack shit. Like mine is valid for 10y 9m but I guarantee a pound to a piece of shit it will need replacing because it is full well before such time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Mine usually last about 2 years if I share stamps somewhat equally between them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 NZ changed from 10 yrs to 5 in the wake of 9/11 and there was a lot of movement around the world to 5 yr ones. Subsequently, not so many countries actually moved to 5 yr ones so NZ is shuffling back to the 10 yr model after the public, the citizenry, the voters complained vociferously.

Mekong Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 RM's comment about "Most ASEAN Nations" are 5 years pricked my interest as I no for sure that Vietnam is 10 years since Invitation letters for overseas trips are all in the same letter for me and Viets I travel with. Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Philipines 5 Years, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam 10 years. With the exception of Singapore is it a coincidence that the countries with 5 years have a problem with Muslims, and those with 10 years don't ?
