Your best chance of getting the right answer is to visit a reputable travel agent (the kind that offers a visa service). They seem to know everything.

Most countries, though, tend to require a passport that is valid for at least 6 months before they will issue a visa. Assuming that you're renewing your passport due to expiry, you might need to renew the passport before you can get the visa.

Good luck!

I don't know about other countries, but in the U.S. if you run out of pages, you can always have pages added.   Can be done in the U.S. or at a U.S. consulate in a foreign country.   That might also be an option for you.

No problem. I went through that procedure last year. This is what I did, and it went smoothly:

* Get ordinary visa in old passport.
* Get new passport at the embassy
* Travel around with two passports for the overlapping time (one valid passport, and one invalid passport with valid visa)
* Upon visa expiration, give old and new passport to travel agent
* Receive visa extension in new passport. Old passport no longer necessary at this point.
