Passport renewal question

Hi,
I am going to Japan in March and I need to get a new passport before then as my current one is due to expire next year. Problem is my Japan Visa is in my current passport...will the Passport office simply transfer it across/attach the two passports together?
Thanks for your help,
Rich

There is an area in the application form that simply says other comments, in this box you need to write that you have a valid visa in your old passport, thy will then cancel the old passport by clipping the corner of the cover and return it to you.
You will then carry both passports, you could not travel on the expired passport alone, but the visa is still valid on presenting it with the new passport.
I have just done simular with a USA visa0 -
Thanks a lot! :TNo Unapproved or Personal links in signatures please - FT30
