Hi Bans, thanks for the quick reply.
Wife has just got a British passport and we only found out that she has to surrender her passport before she can do oci or tourist visa.
Ideally we would like to go down the oci route as not point paying the visa fee then oci but we have time constraints, need it done within next three weeks.
Will try and get surrender done this week in person then visa. Any chance we can do the visa application at the time we hand the paperwork in for surrender (bearing in mind we have the forms with us completed) or will we have to wait for the certificate to come back then apply. Some say you can apply with the receipt information to hand but real question is if we can do it at the same time.
Another side not if anyone can help, both my kids have oci, but have since been issued with new British passports, we have the blue cards for oci as well as the old passport with the card stuck in. Are we okay if we take both passports old and new or will be have to transfer to new one?
Thanks
