I've recently been to Europe using my new UK e-passport.. and what I've seen is they don't swip your passport .. they just holds your passport page with the chip closer to a reader and it reads all the informations... pretty impressive... and the immigration officials just looks at your photo... and...
You can fly to USA if you're rich enough... but they are also issuing epassport in Netherland aswell... It's cheaper to fly to Amsterdam fom Uk.. it costs only £79 if you fly with KLM to Amsterdam :D Where as it'll cost you over £250 to fly to USA :roll: All UK passports issued for the last several ...
I am sure that people will be more than happy to pay £1000 for a Visa, IF, they no longer has to pay National insurance contribution and Taxes in the UK :lol: Hello some one told me that a 1000 pounds is going to be charged for a visa, is that just a rumour. also i heard that the duration for HSMP v...
A 10 year full passport was actually £42 or something. The UKPA announced that they are going to issue the customers with epassport, which costs more to make. Hence they have increased the price to £51 in November to meet the rising cost of issuing an epassport. Although they are charging the price ...
Well the price has already increased to £51. So, it will not increase any further. But, it will increase when they'll start handing out that ID card with the passport. No No.. honestly they did sent me out an e-passport. It's pages appears greenish in colour..with different bird's water mark..looks ...
It has got a chip in it. But, it's smaller in size. Currently it contains my photograph and informations that appears on the passport. However, in future they'll include iris/finderprint data etc. When you say it's Biometric, does it actually have a chip like the bank cards?... or is it one of the n...
I have been issued with a new Biometric/e-passport. It's front cover is pretty much similar to the old one except it has a logo indicating that it has a chip inside.
the pages appears to be greenish with water marks and different pictures of bird.
That's all.
No No.. honestly they did sent me out an e-passport. It's pages appears greenish in colour..with different bird's water mark..looks good tough.. or might be because it appears a bit different from the traditional one. Hi confused1, I have received mine today but it a standard digital passport. How d...
Hey tekaweni, Nope I have just filled in a normal passport application form obtained from a local post office. All they did was just wrote to my countersign to find out whether he is really eligible to countersign my application, that's all. I didn't requested for a Biometric/epassport either. And I...
Hello guys.. here's my update... NCS or Postal : Postal through a Solicitor Date of submission or posting :03. 10. 2005 Criteria: 5 yr stay Date of debit of debit/credit card : 18.09.2005 Date of receipt of acknowledgement : No acknowledgement was sent to me. Date of receipt of approval: 14.02.2006 ...
Finally received my Biometric or epassport today :D . It's the new one.. it's a lot different from the old one.. it's pages appears to be greenish in colour... and has a chip at the back page. :lol: It took 4 weeks to process my application. Altough I had sent it by post office check and send servic...
Hello guys... think some of you might find this interesting to know... I have applied for a UK passport through check and send service...which aims to process the application within 2 weeks... However, the UK passport authority have picked me, just like they do randomly, to further check my details....
As you know once you send you application they scans it through to put it in to their system. Well they got my house number wrong. For example, my hose number should be '47' where as they put it as only'7'.
It makes sense if somebody wants a Biometric passport at the moment, altough they'll be available from some time in October. Because at the moment as far as the passport is machine readable and contains a digital photograph they can travel to USA without a visa. But, who knows.. in few years time.. ...
Did any one, whp applied for a new passport recently, received the passport that has got a Chip in it UKPA says they are giving them out to limited number of applicants at the moment.
Makes absolutely no sense . They can't be checking to see if you already have a claim to british citzenship as the naturalisation process would have done that ! Maybe this is some security thing that requires the details of parents. Itis beyond me to work out exactly what utility this info would ha...
I spoke to UKPS earlier today, and have been told that they do in fact require ancestry details (section 4B) for first-time naturalisation-based application. To me this makes little sense, but this is what I have been told by a UKPS official. I have also been told that the version of the form that ...
I knew a guy locally, he was a over stayer at the begining when he came here in the UK.... he had some political problems back at home.. so later he was staying as an asylum seer... But..recently..he got married....but to get the resident permit...he had to go back to his country of origion and re-a...
If you have naturalised then you can just skip the section where it asks for your parents and grand parents details. They are only required if you're claiming to be a BC by another means. Since you can provide your naturalisation certificate, you are providing an evidance that you are a BC, hence, y...
It's my own personal thought, the money would have been much better spent, and I would have been far more satisfied, if the money, £68 (or something like that) went to the home less people or people in needs. Because then, I know the money will help to make some lives better off. Instead of giving ...
Congratulations ezh. Hope you attend the ceremony to finalise your British Citizenship. Just in case if some body wonders, how does it feels to be receiving the Naturalisation certificate? Ans: It hurts when I remember that the whole process costed me over £300. Other than that, nothign has/will cha...
I was old by my solicitor that, the Immigration Officers at the port of entry has no authority to stop you if you have an ILR. But, they can held you to check if your ILR is genuine or not. Once they've confirmed that your ILR is genuine, then they will let you go. But, if you feel like you should n...
Seek advice from an immigration lawyer. Or contact your local citizen advice... or Just contact your local MP and tell him the whole story... this might be very useful.
Don't forget this is the same newspaper that will have you believe that every immigrant in the UK is only here to claim benefits, take British citizens' jobs and that the country is being overrun by asylum seekers. You can't believe everything you read. I think their fasle remark is to do with thei...
