Passport expiry less than 6 months for Tier 2 renewal?

Post by grif-fin » Wed Oct 05, 2016 10:59 am

Hi

My passport expires around the same time as my Tier 2 visa with my employer expires. I am not able to renew the passport easily due to issues with our embassy in London. I am worried that Home Office might not accept my Passport with elss than 6 months expiry when renewing my Tier 2 General visa.

Is this going to cause a problem for me?

Thanks for the short answer reply. Is there any document anywhere in Home Office website that confirms this?

Many Thanks!

I'm sure there is, but I'll leave you search the Immigration Rules (which is what I'd have to do). Someone else may be able to post a link

Short answer due to a busy working day.
