Transfer ILR visa to new passport

[alibinshad]

Dear All ,
My mother got older dependant visa (indefinite leave to remain). Home office put the passport expiry date on a visa page as a visa expiry date. I just renewed my mother passport and would like to know:
- Do I need to transfer current ILR visa to the new passport?
- Do you think expiry date on visa can confuse immigration officers?
I checked home office website my understanding is its need to be transferred on NTL document and cost is £145 which is quite expensive only to transfer visa.
If my understanding is wrong please advise me what to do?
Thanks.

Thanks Vinny,
I checked the condition transfer fee which is £147. It is quite high and unfair if she already got ILR.?
Do we really need to transfer visa ? is there any complexity while she is traveling in future?
Thanks

In my opinion, the transfer of an ILR/ILE to a new passport is optional, assuming the airlines know what an ILR/ILE is.

Thanks Vinney,
Very helpful information and deciding not to transfer visa just carry both passport and may be the print out from the home office website about the expiry date on the ILR/ILE visa.
Thanks again.

If she hasn't initially entered the UK on the ILE visa, then she should enter before its expiry date to activate it. Once it has been activated, then she is subject to the returning residence provisions.

She got her elderly dependent visa(ILR/ILE) in 2011 and she has been travelled abroad for short visits. Now she got new passport and I hope her next visit to abroad should not cause any problem.?

I obtained ILR in 2010. My passport expired in July 2013. From then, I just travelled with my old and new passport without issue. The Border Officer puts in the usual stamp in my new passport and writes VIPP (Visa in Previous Passport).

She must ensure that she travels with both passports. If she fails to travel with the old passport (with ILR/ILE) then the Border Officer will issue her with a visitor's stamp which will cancel her ILR/ILE. Or worse - won't admit her to enter. If there is a chance she'll forget it - it might be worth forking out the 147 GBP.

Hi JW,
Its really helpful information specially about granting visitor visa in absence of old passport and cancelation of old visa. These are new information for me. I am going to be careful and make sure her both passport are staple.

Dear Member,

I have ILR since June 2014 and have a BRP card. I have been a Pakistani National, however recently I am getting Nationality of another country outside UK (Country of my Birth) which would mean I will have to give up my Pakistani Nationality.

Can someone advise if I get the new Nationality now (I will not have my Pakistani passport) how will it affect my ILR as it says at the back - Pakistan.

Also how will I enter UK, will I be allowed to travel to UK on my new passport ? Please let me know the process involved.

Thank you

Regards
