yes you cansssss wrote:Hi All,
I am on Tier 1 VISA valid from 21 Jan 2009 to 21 Jan 2012 and I am planning to apply for Extension in Nov 2011.
My passport is going to expire on December 2013 and if I get an extension i.e. from 21 Jan 2012 to 21 Jan 2014.
My questions are
1) Can I get the Extension visa on my current passport which will be expiring before extension visa expires?

Yes you can get ur extension visa on ur current passport.
2) Do I have to renew my passport now only i.e. 2011 (which is going to expire on December 2013)?
No need to renew it now. Once its expired renew it. Once you renew it the Indian Embassy would give you 2 passports back and in your new passport then would mention ur old passport number and put a stamp saying that valid visas exist on old passport. You then need to carry both ur passport whenever u travel.
3) Is it possible to renew Indian passport in UK before 2 years of expiry?
No need for it.
Thanks a lot

Answers to first two you have and if you really want to update your passport before 2 years you need a reason like change in appearence (include growing or removing beard) or name change (after marriage etc). Otherwise passport can only be renewed 1 year before expiry.sssss wrote: 3) Is it possible to renew Indian passport in UK before 2 years of expiry?
If you decide to go for ILR at a later stage then you will need to apply for another extension.ipmadhu wrote:a) My visa expires on 01-Jul-2012. Can I apply for extension in Mar 2012 (more than 3 months left)?
b) If yes, do I need to provide any justification in the application for early renewal?
I am not really bothered about loss of 3 months for ILR qualification. One of the reasons to apply in March is that the application fee is expected is increase by 50% from 6th Apr 2012 onwards.
Thanks,
Madhu
