It's complicated 0_0 -- Passport Renewal (with name change to Married name) and Transfer of visa
Hello all,
My hubby and I are planning to go the Philippines late this year, at around Oct, Nov or December 2013 and we will be staying there for 2-4 months, then go back to the UK to finish my 2 and a half year visa.
So here are the details:
My passport expires on the 18th of Sept 2014 and is under my maiden name
I am planning to renew my passport even before it expires for two reasons:
1. to make sure my passport has more than 6 mos. validity when we travel to the Philippines and when we get back to the UK
2. to have my maiden name changed to my married name.
So having said that, my questions would be:
1. What will the Philippine embassy do with my old passport with the UK visa when you renew it?
2. I have read somewhere that if I choose not to have Transfer of Conditions to my new passport, I should bring both passports with me...but will having my married name in the new passport and my maiden name in my old passport be confusing? Or would you recommend that I just apply for TOC?
***Having a migraine now******
I would appreciate your advice especially from anyone who had gone through the same experience.
Thanks.

Is your visa stamped in your old passport? Or do you have a Biometrics Residence Permit (BRP) card? Coz that's what matters.
You can renew your passport and use your married name. But when travelling, you need to present both the old and new passports at the immigration (if the visa is stamped in your old passport). It saves you from transferring the visa stamped to the new one, which costs £147 if you applied by post and £522 if personal appearance. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/vi...a-to-passport/
If you have a BRP card and it's in your maiden name, you need to renew that too within 3 months of changing your old passport coz they need to match. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/vi...ponsibilities/

Hi Raynaputi,
Yes my visa is stamped in my current, unexpired passport (plus it has my maiden name).
I do not have a Biometrics Residence Permit Card but I might apply for it.
Which should I do first? Renew my passport (with married name) and then apply for a BRP (with married name in it)? Or should I just retain my maiden name because the old passport with the visa is in my maiden name?
Haha. Kaloka 0_0
Thanks!

You don't need to apply for a BRP card..you'd be able to do that when you apply for your next visa. Just carry both your old and new passport whenever you travel.

Talking about renewing passport, mine is expired already and so by end of this month I will defo renew it and I want my married name to reflect on it. Now while checking again on the Philippine Embassy website to make sure I got all the requirements right, I notice that the E-passport form doesn't have a space for a photograph anymore
Is this the new form that I have to use?
Last 3 months ago I downloaded the form, signed it and pasted my photo, eehh to make sure everything is prepared. But now this new form seems doesn't need photo.
-sorry this might just be too simple- but I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing.
Thanks..

She better use the requirements from the Philippine Embassy London's website, so it won't confused her, since she's renewing the passport here in UK..http://philembassy-uk.org/consular-matters/passport
