Hi Visa Geeza,
Though I have asked the immd themselves, and they have mostly given me a good answer.
I am curious to know what happens to the dependent visa chop once a permanent card is verified? You don’t have to renew it anymore and just leave it as it is?
The Visa Geeza
Correct.

Okay. So, basically after we have a Permanent ID, that visa chop is useless?
The Visa Geeza
Yes.

So, basically the visa chop becomes useless as the permanent card comes about?
The Visa Geeza
Exactly.
