Hi,
I applied my citizenship application Nov-21. I have plans to visit dubai during up comming Christmas Dec 2022. As am not sure what will be status of my application during my upcoming holidays,
- whether application decided ( i have nz passport - least likely case)
- CO assigned,
- citizenship approved waiting for ceremony ( most likely case)
or
- passport pending...
most likely case, my citizenship would be approved and i will waiting for ceremony.
So in this case....I have 2 questions
1) Should i renew my current passport which will expire in Feb-23 and transfer my nz visa on new passport then inform DIA about this? Because for dubai visit visa i need 3 month validity of my passport. Will DIA delay my application, coz i will be out of country?
2) i heard that when citizenship application is approved and certificates are printed. Your visa from old passport is canceled. What happens if i am out of country and my visa is cancelled. In this case should i travell, and if i have to travell what should i do?
Thanking in advace.
