Claim Remaining MM2H Visa Validity
If your MM2H visa was previously issued for a shorter period due to limited passport validity, you may be able to claim the remaining approved visa validity after obtaining a new passport.
Claim Your Remaining Visa Validity
In some cases, an MM2H participant may receive a visa for a shorter period than the approved MM2H validity because the passport did not have sufficient remaining validity at the time of endorsement.
After obtaining a new passport with sufficient validity, the participant may apply to claim the remaining MM2H visa validity, subject to the applicable requirements.

Why Is There Remaining Visa Validity?
Passport Validity
The previous passport did not have enough remaining validity to accommodate the full approved MM2H visa period.
Shorter Endorsement
The MM2H visa was therefore endorsed only up to the period allowed by the passport validity.
New Passport
After obtaining a new passport, the remaining approved MM2H visa validity may be claimed, subject to review.

It may be possible if there is remaining validity under the original MM2H approval.
