Hi All.

I assume this question has been asked countless times in the past, however, I can't find it on the search bar.

I am applying for a new Non-B in the UK. Process is to get the 3 months first, head over and then get the 1 year.

My question is regarding my passport validity. When applying for the 3 month I will have over 1 year on my passport, when applying for the 1 year I will have approx 8 months left on it.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but would it still be possible to get the 1 year given that my passport will be out of date by then, or will I have to renew whilst I am in the UK now.

Cheers

Sam

Your one year extension will only be granted up until the expiry of the passport. To avoid complications, get a new passport now
