New passport and retirement extension

[Brian K]

Grateful for some clarification re the following:

Current extension visa stamp on passport due to expire mid-March

New UK passport issued so must apply for retirement visa extension. 

1.  What docs do I need to take to Immigration for new extension apart from the usual ie Form, Bank letter and statement, copies of passport ID page, TM6 and current extension stamp?

2.  Do I need to get a letter/doc from VFS re passport renewal?

3.  How soon can I apply for the extension?  Going to CW so will apply for online appt.

Thanks!

VFS provide the form to "ask" immigration to transfer the stamps to new passport. Usually when you get your new passport.

2.  If you renewed via VFS they should have given you the Embassy letter/template with your new passport.  If they did not then you can request one from the Embassy and they will post it to you.

Copies of the extension stamp in old passport only relate to latest extension due to expire mid-March. Correct?
