New Passport Time?

[pauleddy]

My UK PP expires in Dec 2021 but is already full APART from 1.5 pages.

 

My visa extension is due again on 30 July, which is about 12 weeks away.

 

Questions please:

 

I need to go to Malaysia in 2-3 weeks. The stamps for this small trip are 4, and I dont need the single re-entry permit (I have yearly). However, I have had some dirty looks at immigration. Should I send it away now?

 

I don't want my new extension put in an expired PP.

 

How long does it take? to UK?

 

Is the new PP 10 years, or only runs 2 years because I am full early?

 

If on-line...I have photos but I dont think I can get a quality image using my phone. Anyone done that?

 

Cheers

Unless your trip can be delayed if necessary you will be pushed to get a new passport in time. You have not got an appointment yet at VFS.[
