Passport expiring in next 2 years

Post by gopikrishnatb » Fri Feb 20, 2009 5:59 pm

Hi all,

I am about to apply for "Tier-1 General" next month. But my passport expiry date is 2011, i.e. two years from now.

But the Tier-1 will be aproved for 3 years, right. Will it be any problem?
If I go to UK, after 2 years do I need to apply for new passport in order to stay there? Please suggest.

Dont worry about that. My flr is stamped untill 2012 and my passport expires in 2011.

Its alright. This wont be a problem at all. Apply for a new passport before it expires with your country's Consulate/Embassy in UK. Thereafter you can choose to either get the VISA transferred to new passport or carry both passport whenever you cross an immigration post.

I got my passport changed here in London and now I carry 2 passports. It is done easily and there were no problems whatsoever....

so don't worry you have 2 years validity on your passport...
