I got married recently and has changed from my maiden name to my married name. My old passport with my maiden name has been endorsed with my married name, however this passport expires in August and i have a 5 year UK valid visa on it.

Am already in the processing of getting a new passport with my married name and i have been told the old passport with the still valid visa will have to be cancelled. Also i am thinking of doing a transfer of visa on my new passport because of the change in my name.


Please can anyone kindly advise on how to do transfer of a valid british visa from an old passport to a new passport.

i suggest you visit the consulate ; they should walk you through it
