TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual is inquiring about transferring their non-O retirement extension visa to a new passport, which they plan to renew before the visa's expiration. The comments suggest that renewing the passport sooner rather than later is advisable, as there are regulations regarding passport validity when applying for visa extensions. Specifically, the extension may only be granted until the passport's new expiration date, and it's emphasized that any delays in renewing could complicate the situation.

I got caught by this. Did extension end of May. Passport expires end of February. They only gave extension to February. I could have renewed passport but it was only three weeks to go until visa extension expired so I just took the hit and will have to extend visa in February with new passport.

Your profile suggests you are British. Do the passport renewal NOW. You have presumably done a 90 day report last month so you have plenty of time... do not wait, appointments at VfS are Covid affected so the 'normal' one month timeframe may well be longer.

IF you apply for a yearly extension you need at least a year left on your passport OR they will only give you an extension until your passport runs out
