Passport renewal and ILR/BRP ?

Post by wanna_bee » Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:39 am

Hi All,

I got my ILR last year. It's in the BRP form. Nothing is stamped on my passport.

Due to personal reasons, I have been living in my home country all this while. Now I intend to come back to UK next month.

I had to renew my passport recently, so I'm wondering if I have to inform Home Office of the same? Or can I just travel to UK with my new passport, old passport and BRP ? Basically is there anything I have to do in this matter before travelling?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Regards,
wanna_bee

You should simply staple the both passports together and along with BRP can easily return as long as the absence does not exceed 2 years. On return if you wish can update them regarding your new passport.

Thanks for the reply , sheraz7 !

One more thing: is it 2 years from date of getting the ILR - BRP or 2 years from last flight out of UK ?

So, I left UK 4 months after getting the BRP, so I take it that it is 2 years from the day of the flight back?

Also, since my absence from UK was long, will it cause any problem at the immigration at the airport? Will I have to carry any proofs/document to convince the officer? Does any one have experience with this? What questions do they ask?

You got ILR last year then left UK and next month you are coming back, you will be fine. Donot confuse yourself.
