Hi,

I recently recieved the medical request. the concern i have is that i heard one's passport should be valid for one year from the date passport request is sent by the visa office? is that true? since hopefully i will recieve it by Aug/Sep and my passport's validity is till March 2015.

Sir

passports need o be valid at least 06 months at the time of submission for visa stamping.

UAE is an exception , where 03 months validity is required for a visitor visa.

You can get your passport renewed at any time in April 2014 , to be on safe side - If you want to be. I would suggest that you must get it renewed
