No you won't - according to the bottom of this page on the IND website, where the following paragraphs appearDawie wrote:....However you will have to have your ILR visa sticker transfered to your new Indian passport once you get it which you can either do by post or in person at the Home Office.
Please be aware that if you submit a passport that has expired, or is close to expiry, you will need to pay the current fee should you wish to have any leave granted transferred into a new passport at a later date.
However you should be aware that you are able to travel with a new, valid passport without having your leave transferred provided that you carry with it either your old passport with your endorsement of leave, or the letter on which your leave was granted.

Absolutely! The UK stopped "uniting" British passports years ago, for this very reason...neilroy wrote:Please be careful with the staple issue, i was advised not to do that as the new passport is machine readable and staple pin could cause a problem for that.
No chance of that, immigration officials don't have hearts, so I doubt there will be much blood.Absolutely! The UK stopped "uniting" British passports years ago, for this very reason...
And I don't know about you, but I'd be slightly concerned about being responsible for accidentally drawing the blood of the immigration official who decides how long I'm going to be allowed to stay in the country I'm going to!

For convenience, you can staple your old passport at the back of the new one, but carefully so that it does not damage any of the two.
