BRP and NTL Applications UK

[oporhatch]

It has recently come to my attention that to work in the UK now you need to have a BRP (Biometric Residency Permit)  or your indefinite remain to leave Visa needs to be in your current passport.

(Seems to me another way to make a few hundred quid !!!)   

 

Does anybody know the process or can the confirm the process to get the Visa moved from an old Thai passport  to a BRP  ??

 

My current thoughts are that you apply through the NTL form , to which the UK Gov then give you an appointment where you get your fingerprints taken etc.

 

If this is correct is it a post office near  or  wherever they want   ??   as  I did read somewhere that if you pay you can get the Post Office appointment venue changed

 

Any guidance in the matter would be appreciated

No. It's a way that all employers can check that people who are allowed to work can work and those who can't are not employed. The penalties are fierce.

 

My wife's FLR included a BRP so I can't help you. No doubt somebody will come along who can.

 

I think but I'm not 100% sure that your ILR will still be valid, even though it's in an old passport.

As above, wife's LTR included a BRP to be collected from Post Office.

Where did your wives get your fingerprints done ??

On filling in the form NTL  -  could you let me know what documentation you sent for 

 

1.  Document proving identity     - was it just the passports 

2.Evidence of continuous residence in the UK  -    surely this is highlighted by the stamps in the passport -  or do I need 

    to give more info   like bank statements , council tax Bills etc 

 

Any assistance appreciated as I do not want to send  to little to them

My wife went to the Post Office in Windsor. You need to check online for the closest to you and only a few POs can do the biometrics.

 

During my wife;s FLR application she was sent a letter telling her to go and get the biometrics done.

Hi there,

 

I am in the same situation and have my appointment on Wednesday. I too am having trouble as the checklist says the give evidence of continuous residence. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you were successful in your application and how you showed the continuous residence.

 

kind regards
