Lost passport and visa help - urgent

Post by amit_kos » Sat Dec 31, 2011 10:47 am

Dear all,

One of my nearest friend had Tier 1 General visa issued and this visa was due for extension in middle of next year. He travelled to India recently (22th Dec) and today I learned that he lost his passport in India!

He will be applying for new Indian passport very soon but does not know the process of getting the visa re-stamped. I know that UKBIA has stopped issuing Tier 1 General visa from outside UK, so he is getting tensed about that.

Does any one know what he needs to do? Whom should he contact? And what is the process of getting the visa re-issued, especially when UKBIA has stopped issuing such kind of visas outside UK?

I appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks,
Amit

Thanks Alladin, I appreciate your help. I have gone through the post and it does answer some questions. But the main problem is UKBA has stopped issuing Tier 1 General Visa outside UK!

Any way, I have got some useful info by this post thanks for that.

Cheers,
Amit
