Hi, my friend has renewed her passport in the UK and her visa is in the old one. She travels back to Thailand next week, how does she transfer visa to new passport please. TIA
Answer summary
When transferring from an old passport to a new one after renewing in the UK, your friend will need to travel with both the old and new passports, as the visa cannot be transferred. The visa is a sticker in the old passport and remains valid until its expiration.
