Hi all:

My passport is expiring at the end of this year and I want to renew it now.
My question is, if I renew my passport now, will my Entry Visa and Work Permit on the old passport stay valid? or do I have to renew those as well before I leave for vacation on a renewed passport? Has anyone travelled like this?
Thanks,

1, As long as you carry your old passport with the new one, you will be fine. If your country keeps the old passport, then you will need a new TRV,, the work permit remains valid.

Thank you. Have you, or anyone you know been in this situation? I do not want to risk getting stuck out.
However, what you are saying makes perfect sense.

Sorry its long time ago. Have you experience the issue u said? Is it fine just to carry the old passport with you ?
