Transferring visa stamp to new passport

[emmag90]

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knew what to do!

Last week I realised that my passport was water damaged. I took it to the Australian embassy and sure enough, it needed to be replaced. So I got a new one issued and it arrived yesterday. Annoying thing is earlier yesterday I got my visa stamp 1 put in my old passport (the embassy only called me after I left) so now I need it in the new one. They let me keep my old passport for proof. Worst timing, right!?

My question is, do I need to go to the registration office and get a new stamp in the new passport? Or can I just carry my old passport with me when I'm going through immigration if I leave Ireland? The next appointment with the GNIB in Burgh Quay is late next month and I'm highly considering just going to another county and seeing if they can re-stamp.

Any help would be great! Thanks

Hi , I transferred my stamp from old passport in June . I just walked in with my residency approval letter with me. Didnt even go through the que . just stood in front of desk no. 1. And the guy asked me how can I help. It took just 5 min altogether . the man was very nice to me and told me he will leave a note to send me reminder for renewal. Hope it helps .
