Change of Name on Tier 2 Visa

Post by dmascar10 » Wed Sep 30, 2015 11:09 am

Hi I have a Tier 2 employer Sponsored Visa

I wanted to change my last name and have already done it through a deed poll. My passport and Bio-metric information currently mentions my old name.

I have been informed that I can submit a change of circumstances form to the Visa offices and create a new biometric. However, I want to know whether a deed poll would be sufficient to change my name on the Biometrics or whether I should also change the name on the passport before I forward a change of circumstances form and then go from there?

You would likely need to change the name on your passport first.

Dear friends,

I have the same problem in name. My daughter is over 18 and she has Pak passport and ILR on single name. Her passport expired and when she applied for renewal, Pakistan Embassy said, apply for National ID card first, then we changed her name (first name, surname). After getting NI card with surname, she appied for renewal of passport and she got passport with first name and surname, which is different in old passport and ILR biometric card.

Can you please advise me, how to apply for her new ILR biometric card to change her name? what are the requirements in this regard?

Regards

Omer
