Am Indian passport holder. Planning to enter UK only after April 2009. My passport expires 15th Dec 2009. Am planning to renew my passport on 22nd Dec 2008. Will my visa valid on my new passport after renewal? Do I need to do any process to retain my visa on new passport? Can someone guide me is there any issues on renewing my passport with Tier1 visa(Not yet travelled to UK) . Thanks in advance

No need to transfer visa to new passport. Carry passport with valid visa along with the new passport whenever / wherever you travel (suggestion - staple the passports together).

regards

Hi Jagan,

Please guide how you have got post dated visa?
Where you had specified in the application for post dated visa? And do we need to specify any reason for the same?

Regards,
Harry

Hi
If you want the visa to be post dated, you have to specify in part7 (i think this is the section name)Additional Information. I also asked for post dated visa, I got this. No questions asked. Just ensure that your travel date mentioned on the application form coincides with the visa start date and it is within 3 months from the date of application.

NO....it is not.

I did mentioned my travel date as 05th March 2009. They simply ignored it and given the start date from 18th Dec 2008 itselfs.

You were saying

Just ensure that your travel date mentioned on the application form coincides with the visa start date

Mine doesn;'t coincides.....with travel date...

How can I proceed ?
PS : I didn;t entered anything in Additional Information.

Suresh

Your travel date is the important entry here. You can send them the passport back with a request to change the date.

The guidance says you have to make the application a maximum of 3 months before. Your preferred traveled date is 05 March 2009, which means you are supposed to apply on or after 05 March 2009. As you made the application more than 3 months before, they ignored this. This is my understanding.

But you might send your passport back to BHC for a correction in the date
