While I understand that the norm is for passports to be renewed within 6 months to expiry, I do not think the rule is cast in stone. I am aware of someone who renewed a passport about 8 months to expiry. If you also go to other States, there is a possibility of getting the renewed passport same day. Wish you success in your planskollins said:Normally,you cant renew a passport with above six months validity.In your case,maybe the 15 days given is within the 7th month to the expiry of your dependent.It makes sense for you to approach the immigration officials at the passport office with your need and explanation....hoping they will give concession to you.If this is done,you can get it within three days and send it to AVO notifying them the reason for the renewal.
If they do not give concession and the 5 months difference between February and July makes a great productive difference for you,raise a CSE and explain to Accra visa office for a a calculated extension date that will enable you to renew at 6 months to the expiry for you to send it.
For you to try this option,you must have a justifiable reason/evidence.
Aside this,its better you plan your trip for February and do a short landing to return back.
Cheers.
