Wrong web page obviously, here is the correct one: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucit ... n/#header4Lilly wrote:Also check this website

They don't!

Is it really so difficult to understand that a residence card is not a residence permit? The information on the web page you have cited does not apply (and may be confusing to a residence card holder), even if the regulations regarding a transfer are similar (they could be different).Lilly wrote:I don't want to get into an argument but If you read the last line of my quote from the site they clearly say you don't have to transfer your residence permit to the new passport.
Ask any frequent travelers, they will tell you! there is no problem travelling with both passports as long as its the same issuing authority. If your valid Visa is in your old passport, you can attach both passport and Roll. Issue is there are lots of assumptions on the board, and also some of UKBA staff have got a culture of intimidating travelers. With UKBA you got to be very strong specially if you come from out side the EU. I've travelled with two attached passports for along time and it has never raised any suspicions.virtual-writer wrote:They don't!

They want us to apply for permanent residence even though we already have it!
And to make it even more complicated, they gave my husband an ILR stamp instead of the sticker as they should have done.
The problem with traveling with two passports is that the UKBA advice against it, and even our solicitor. I've also read on these boards that it's not recommended, you may get problems at check-point.
