Renewal of passport when UK Tier 2 Visa has been recently awarded

Post by varunkhatri » Tue Jan 22, 2019 6:54 am

Hi,

I have been recently awarded UK Tier 2 Visa on my existing Indian passport outside UK.

Since my passport was about to expire in next 4 months, I renewed it in India and updated my address on the passport.

Whom should I inform about the address change on my passport, in case I have to inform?

Also this will be the first time I will be flying to UK with Tier 2 visa, do will there be any issue if I have renewed my passport?

Requesting for advice..

Regards,
Varun

Carry both old and new passports when you arrive in the UK. There shouldn't be an issue due to passport renewal.

You could use the change of circumstances option to report address change

My advice is based on personal research/experience, so pls check relevant UKVI sources.
