If an application can no longer enter the UK within this period, he needs to apply for a replacement. He does not need to apply for a new application.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the passport is lost or stolen before travelling to the UK, the applicant will need to apply for a new passport before applying for replacement. A police report may also be required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If the passport with visa vignette is expired<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any visa (or leave) endorsed in an expired passport remains valid until the expiry date of that visa. The applicant must present the visa on his expired passport and the new passport when seeking entry to the UK. However, an applicant may choose to transfer the visa vignette on his expired passport if he thinks it is necessary to do so.<\/p>\n<p>When applying for transfer under this category, the visa vignette in the expired passport must be presented, unless it can be demonstrated that the expired passport has been retained by the issuing authority.<\/p>\n<p>Once the visa (or leave) is transferred, the old one will be cancelled without prejudice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If the passport with visa vignette is lost or stolen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the applicant loses or has his passport with the visa vignette stolen, he needs to apply for a replacement visa (or leave).
