no more visa on passport?

[hussainkothari]

Hi. I have a primitive question. I am still new to terms like Biometrics. I have to apply for my T1 extension shortly. The question I have is that does the ukba not use the passport pages anymore to stamp the visa? Do they now instead give this to you on a supplementary piece of paper?

I am asking this as I am short of pages on my passport. I Didn't want to get into making a new passport if it is not necessary.

Thanks.

Thanks!

So just to be clear. Passport pages are not used anymore? I should only receive a Biometrics letter as my extension of stay. right?

How do I use my biometric residence permit?

Your biometric residence permit is evidence of your permission to stay in the UK, and shows the conditions of your stay. It enables you to confirm your identity and your right to study and/or work here, and to access public services.
You must show the permit to your employer or approved education provider before you start to work or study.
You must take your permit with you if you go abroad while you have permission to stay in the UK. You may need to show the permit to an immigration officer at the border when you leave the UK. You will also need to show it as well as your valid national passport or travel document before you begin your return journey, and again when you re-enter the UK. The permit proves that you are allowed to return to the UK, but it cannot be used instead of a passport or travel document.
