But what are the consequences of this if your passport expires. Can yu still apply for a post study work visa whilst in the uk?vinny wrote:You should be able to renew your passport now at your embassy.
What if the passport is valid on the application date but is not valid for the full duration of the visa(anyway, these days you will be issued with BRP for T1(PSW)).arsenal49 wrote: UKBA cant accept your expired passport. full stop.
Nowdays, they issue BRP so this 6 months validity makes no sense but I'll wait for some Links!!!arsenal49 wrote:im pretty sure i read somewhere that... at the time of your app, you must have passport valid for 6 months or so....
but i cant back it up from any policy guidance or anything so... i guess take it or leave it
The bit about no status is not true. Plenty of people have no passports or expired passports and visas to stay in the UK.sunderland2011 wrote:I am a Nigerian so I am in a position to give you some candid advice. I just renewed my passport at the Nigerian High Commission, London; the process was very streamlined and you get a new passport issued to you exactly 10 days after the interview with the Immigration officer. My advice to you is to telephone the High commission, explain your peculiar situation to them, and request for an interview date that is closer than your original date of October, 2011. They are very understanding and will sort out a nearer date for you.
Currently, you are on an expired passport; even though your visa is still valid, you do not have a legal status here in the UK. It is best you sort out a new passport as soon as possible before things get complicated for you or you make things complicated for yourself!
Absolute nonsense. There is no requirement in the UK to have an ID card or passport, and many people do not, including overseas nationals. The last time people had to have ID and carry it in the UK was WWII.sunderland2011 wrote:Having an expired passport is the same as having no passport. It means the holder has no valid, legal identity.
