Hello there,

I am planning to apply for a new passport as my old one is a little damaged. But I have a visa and a work permit on my old passport. And there is my old passport number on them. The new passport will have a different passport number. Will the visa and the work permit still be valid if I apply for a new passport?

Thanks,
Kai

Yes, they are valid. You will need to travel with both passports.
