Hi peeps
I have an indian passport which expires end of this month, I reside in the UK with ILR stamp in my passport.
I need some advice please,
Do I need to get an NQ form from UKBA declaring that I am not a british citizen or is it not needed?
I am a little confused because someone I know who deals with passports is is telling me its not needed, yet on the website for docs needed it says it does!?
I have a valid visa right? The ILR visa? or is this section not for me... ?
Re-issue of Passport on expiry or up to one year before expiry (having a valid Visa)
The current or recently expired Indian passport along with the self-attested photocopies of the Bio Page(photo page), last page with the address & observation page, if any observations have been noted, or any other visa page with any observation details should also be provided.
Residence Permit (card) wherever applicable needs.to be enclosed along with self-attested photocopies
If the applicant holds a ‘Indefinite Leave to Remain’ Visa or Card, Applicant needs to obtain a NON Acquisition Certificate(NQ) from the British Home Office, confirming that he/she has not acquired British Nationality.
If the applicant is married and his/her spouse name is not entered in the passport, he/she should submit a self-attested photocopy of marriage certificate and self-attested photocopies of Passport of the applicant’s spouse (original Passport & marriage certificate to be shown at the time of submission of application) for adding spouse name in the new passport.
For passports that expired for up to one year, a self-explanatory letter as to why the passport was not renewed in time needs to be submitted.
If I dont need it, I would rather save the time and my £85 fee for NQ form acquisition.
Thanks
