My wife is Thai and she has just renewed her passport which has a 5 yr valid UK visa. Does she have to transfer the visa to her new passport or can she just carry her old passport? We live in Thailand.

I am surprised you have a visa which lasts longer than the passport?? Having said that I vaguely remember the same happening to us......we just kept both passports together, don't recall transferring anything.

@davidillNo need to get the visa vingette transferred to the new passport, your wife should present her new passport and the one containing her visa at check-in on departure, and to the Border Force Officer on arrival at the UK Border. The officer will stamp the new passport on entry along with a written note, something along the lines of "VIPP".

 

She could if she wished apply for a new vingette, but it's expensive and not necessary.
