489 visa to 887 visa 489 to 887 Passport Issue

[aussieboy666]

Dear all, 

I came to Australia on 489 Skilled Regional Visa in July 2018. I will be applying for my Permanent Residency Visa (887 Visa) in July 2020. 

My current passport is due to be expired on January 2021 which means when I will be applying for 887 visa, I will only have six months validity in my current passport. 

Due to this reason I have applied for a new passport from the Sri Lankan authorities.

My question is, when I am filling the application should I put my existing passport details and later update the new passport's details or should I wait for my new passport to arrive and then apply? 

Please help me in this regard. Your help will be highly appreciated. 

Thank you & best regards 

Aussieboy

Hi Aussieboy666, I wish and hope you see this post of mine. I’m in the same situation as yours expecting to apply 887 in December 2020. 
my wife’s passport is due to expire 08/2021 and we have applied for a new Sri Lankan passport. It’s been. 5 months and counting the new passport hasn’t arrived yet. 
The question is can I add her current passport details in the 887 application? please share your experience in applying 887 with the old passport.

Thank you - Aakyl Haniffa
