Hello,
i am in a fix at the moment as my case is kind of unique. Currently have ILE stamped on my passport from country X. Nature of my work have to travel between UK and country A. Never been out of UK for more than 2 years. Now i got citizenship of country A. My citizenship of country X is lost by virtue of taking up citizenship of country A.

My question, should i submit my passport whilst in country A to have it transferred from country X passport to A ? what other option i have ? I don't wish to apply for UK citizenship as my frequent travel voids the application requirements of 90days stay. Please help

Regards

Speak to BHC in the country of your new citizenship.
They are likely to give you a more definite answer about possibly of ILE transfer.
There certainly should be a way out. Say your experience with us so others could benefit.
Good luck.

ok, here is what i did. Applied online for vignette transfer. Enclosed my children and wife's UK passport copies. Took nearly 5 weeks and they just put in a new vignette sticker on my new passport.
