Hi Sangpo,sangop02 wrote:Hi everyone,
I had a general query regarding passport application.
Here is my situation
I am going through the Naturalisation process at the moment (5 years Tier 1 + 1 year ILR).
Current citizenship: Indian
I applied on July 7th and am waiting for my approval letter.
I will need to travel to Singapore in a month's time.....this is not for pleasure and it's a very important trip and I might be there for 3-4 months.
Can you please advise me on the following?
- Are you allowed to travel before you get the British Passport?
- Can I apply for the British passport through the British Home Office in Singapore? (Although the official website had guidance that meant that I could apply from abroad, when I rang them up they said that I cannot apply for my first passport from outside the UK.)
Any guidance on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes Mike...it is very confusing as the guidance online is the opposite of what they told me on the phone. I am planning to contact the Singapore embassy and ask them directly.mike_k wrote:Passport for: Adult

Interesting reading above that people are being told that first adult passport applications cannot be made from overseas. As mentioned, the online information seems to suggest it is ok. Does anyone have more information on this - e.g. is this correct? Does it only apply to certain countries? I would have thought an interview could be conducted at the British Embassy. It seems crazy that British citizens are not able to obtain passports.
edit: page 14 here https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _10.13.pdf suggests that you can make an application overseas.
