Returning back from India to UK with new passport

Post by Ram Singh » Fri Jul 08, 2016 1:06 pm

I came to UK from India two months back on Intra Company Transfer Tier-2 VISA.

I have the Indian Passport on which I have UK visa stamped which was valid for one month. For further stay I got BRP(Resident Permit)card of UK valid till April, 2017. Type of Permit is "T2 ICT Short Term Leave to Enter".

My Indian passport is currently having blank surname. I am planning to travel back to India for two weeks to get my passport updated with given name as "Ram" and surname as "Singh". I will be getting new passport issued in India with my name split into given name and surname.

Once I get new passport ,I will be coming back to UK and at that time I will be having my new passport (with name split into given name and surname) , old passport (cancelled and on which I have my UK visa stamp) and BRP card (associated to old name).

Do I need to execute any other step to re-enter UK (visa transfer) or I can enter UK with above 3 documents.

I think you should also update the UK HO if your name changes on your passport. Please check
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.

Once you return to UK with your new passport, you are required to do this:

Yes, I need to update it. But my question is while re-entering it wont be updated. Will it be an issue at that time?

I think it should not be an issue.
