lopburi3 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You can not put pages in a UK passport. He will need a new passport and believe full details will be on there website (it is really quite good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamIV Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 As Lopburi says - there are Full instructions on the British Embassy website They now issue the New Bio Passport When you have the new passport - have the Details of your Visa Transferred to your New Passport at Immigration They have a Request Letter for you to sign for this purpose. I extended my Visa the same day I got my New Passport Details of the Original Visa and the last Extension were entered into my New Passport First - a 5 min job . If your next extension is not due for sometime whether there is a REQUIREMENT for you to Transfer the details of your Visa and current extension in a timely fashion I do not know but the process is simple and quick - once you reach the head of the Queue - but THAT can take up to 4 hours in Suan Phlu if you are unlucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Time for a new passport sir! I would avoid letting immigration / labour dept. see your alternative passport, you're higly unlikely to get all your paperwork transferred to what is, in effect, another person (different PP number). You can bet that the mechanism is not in place for such an unusual request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never give up my 2nd passport for any reason, even if I didn't travel so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenbead Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I agree, don't show the second one. My hubby has two as well. Very handy. I wish I had two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Traveller Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Guess you should get to the Embassy as quickly as possible, this is a busy time of year for the passport offices in the UK and you only have 3 weeks. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
