DS's passport is due for renewal in a few months but I'm wondering what happens to the residence permit page which is valid until June 2012.

I tried calling the British Embassy here but after 3 minutes of recorded messages said they don't accept passport related queries (i know we have to send it off to Dusseldorf)

Tried emailing them but it said to send another one as a second query which will take another 5 days to reply.

Hope some of u ladies might have the answer!

TIA! :)

you just carry both passports when you travel. they wont move the visa into new passport so just stable the two together :) u can pay at immigration to do this, but there's really no point.

they will just staple the two passport together and so DS will be travelling with 2 passport until 2012 when you renew your residency visa - or until you change sponsorshop. It has happens to us a few times .... Yes this is what we are currently doing, when Dubai Visa runs out in old passport, we will be back to just 1 passport. Do staple them together though, to lessen the risk of losing or forgetting one.
