hi all,

The HO website says :

"THIS GRACE PERIOD HAS NOW ENDED - AFTER 13 JANUARY 2004, IF AN OVERSEAS NATIONAL ARRIVES AT A UK PORT WITHOUT ENTRY CLEARANCE THEY MAY BE REFUSED ENTRY."


My questions are:

1-If am already in UK and a work permit holder, and i went on holiday, will they let me back in ?or i need to do something before?

2- and how about if i went to my country and got a new passport? do i need clearance then? or i can show my old passport on return to UK ?

Thanks a lot for your help

1. No problems if you LTE/ LTR stamp is still valid.

2. Your old passport with unexpired LTR + new passport should be enough. Bear in mind that IO might send you to Croydon to transfer the stamp to your new passport.

TVT,

Dont they anymore transfer the stamp on arrival into UK? I thought they did.

I had my WP transferred on arrival into UK. Not sure if it holds for ILR.
