Visitor visa renewal for parents

[brianna_dk]

Hi, my parents visitor visa is expiring on July 1 2023 (due to old passport expiry) and they are planning to visit us in May 2023 and will be staying with us for 5 months. Their passports are renewed.

My question:

1. Should we apply for new visitor visa with new passport? Timeline is currently 5-6 months to receive TRV (temporary resident visa)
OR
2. They travel with their initial visitor visa and apply for extension (visitor record) once they arrive (on new passport)

What could be the best option?

Thanks
