Thanks, so i dont need to transfer visa to the new passport, even when i apply for ILR,
i assume only when i travel abroad i need to carry both old and new passport together according to

Thanks again..

if you have a valid visa on an expired visa, then it is acceptable.

but you will need a new passport to travel, ofcourse!

As in this case, there are two passports, one with a valid visa and the other one a fresh passport, which passport should be quoted when making an airline booking as the airllines ask to complete API (Advanced Passenger Information) when booking the tickets, which requires quoting the passport number?

The current unexpired passport.

When my ILR is due, do i need to submit just the expired passport with Valid Visa to the home office or both the passports,
Thanks.
