passport renewal

Post by londonphd » Thu Sep 03, 2015 11:48 am

Hi there,

I am on Tier 4 visa. I've renewed my passport last month, is there any requirement or a time limit within which I should notify UKBA about this change?
Also, is there any form to post to UKBA with the update or should I just write a letter to them?
Many thanks,

No need to update on passport renewal as far as I am aware. You will need to either carry both passports (if you do not have a BRP) or transfer your vignette to your new passport for ease of travel.

Notification of change of circumstances: form MCC wrote:Passport details: If a new passport has been issued, provide the passport number, place of issue, date of issue and the date of expiry of the new passport.

If the applicant has received a new passport following the loss or theft of the original document, enclose the crime reference number or report issued by the police when the loss or theft was reported.

And obviously you need to update your Tier 4 sponsor with your new passport details.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.

once u hv given ur new passport details to ur T4 sponsor they will automatically update ur details on sponsor system so you don't really need to inform HO.
