If your passport expires while studying abroad, act promptly to avoid travel disruptions. First, contact your country’s nearest embassy or consulate to initiate renewal. Required documents typically include an application form, recent photos, proof of residency, and the expiring passport. Processing times vary, so apply early.
Meanwhile, keep a copy of your passport and student visa for identification. Some countries allow extended validity for student visas despite passport expiration, but verify this with local immigration authorities. Ensure your renewed passport is linked to your visa to prevent legal issues. Always carry both old and new passports during transit.
