Passport About to Expire? What to do to TRANSFER a UK VISA to new Passport.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE UK IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS?

If you hold a valid UK Visa with LEAVE TO ENTER OR LEAVE TO REMAIN and your current PASSPORT is about to EXPIRE the UKBA can TRANSFER the RESIDENCE PERMIT to your new PASSPORT

You DO NOT HAVE TO TRANSFER THE RESIDENCE PERMIT INTO YOUR NEW PASSPORT.
however if you decide not t do the transfer you HAVE to CARRY BOTH PASSPORTS TO CONFIRM YOUR STATUS.

The UKBA will not/cannot TRANSFER any RESIDENCE PERMITS at Passport Control when you arrive in the UK.

If the RESIDENCE PERMIT confirms that you permission to live in the UK (SETTLE) permanently you need to request a NO TIME LIMIT (NTL) stamp by submitting form NTL
