6 month on visa or passport?

Question

My husband is applying for a eea family permit, and i have read that he needs 6 month on his passport is this from when the visa is issued or the day we travel to the uk?? any help please :)

Also when should i apply for the visa if we plan to travel in november??

Answer 1

Gaining a new passport would be best.

I heard that the BIA don't issue visas from old passports into a new one. People who get a new passport need to re-apply for the same visa, even if still valid in old passport.

Answer 2

At the point of entry into the UK a Passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months.The short answr is to get a new Passport and transfer any Visas from the old one.Their is no charge for this.

Answer 3

Usually when it says you need 6 months on your passport, that means 6 months from the date you are due to return to the UK.

Answer 4

He needs a minimum of 6 months validity on his passport from the date visa is issued

He should apply in sept last

Answer 5

you need to apply now and follow through with the request/procedure that they give you to follow.
