Transfer your visa to a new passport

You do not need to have your residence permit (known as leave to remain) transferred to your new passport but you can do this if you wish

hi friends,

myself & my husband have submitted our passports for HSMP visa (tier I now) stamping....but both the passports carrying an expiry of Dec 2010.

1) will they stamp the visa for 3 years on the passports which will expire in 2 years from now ?

2) if we get the visa. then what problems we could face after 2 years (i.e. expiry of passports) in UK.

really puzzled and need ur help

Yes they will

None. You will have to get a new passport issued from your embassy. Thereafter you might want to carry both passports with you or you can get the VISA transferredto your new passports

Also see this

1.12 - Transferring a visa to a new passport [Updated]
If a traveller's passport expires during the validity of the multiple entry visa, it may be transferred to a new passport for the remaining period without payment of a further fee. The visa on the expired passport should be cancelled.

since ur in london, how do u find the market scenario.....

M in banking and I can tell you its bleeding right now. Retail/Real Estate is also in bad shape.

is it right time to come to london under HSMP ?

I would say it is pretty much a personal decision. No one can time the market. Thinks dont look good these days. Ppl say that US will come out of recession soon but UK will suffer for long.

Anyways this is not the right thread to discuss this point. You can get better answers if you post the query in a relevant theread.
