Ink marks on Vignette (visa sticker)-Urgent advise req plz

[mir_azam_k]

Hi

I have a non-eu passport with Tier 1 psw and I am currently living in UK. I've recently been on vacation and returned to UK last week. But I've noticed that there are some ink spots on my tier 1 (psw) visa, including on my photo on the visa. These marks were caused by the stamp that was put on the adjacent page in my passport, by the immigration officer at the departure airport. Could you please advise if I need to have my vignette (visa sticker) replaced? if yes, please can you advise on the procedure of doing so. Secondly, if I chose not to get it replaced, do you think it will be a problem whenever I am returning from vacation? or even applying for other visas like tier 2 or tier 4 etc.

Many thanks
Kind Regards

It will be fine if the rows of numbers at the bottom are still legible. It's a machine-readable vignette and all the relevant info will be available when those numbers are scanned by the Immigration Officer.
