Q:

UK Visa in an expired Nigerian passport - what to use?

I am in Nigeria, my passport will expire in 4 months and I have a document to apply for a UK visiting Visa with that passport number.
Should I use it like that or go for another passport. If I choose to get another passport, how will I use it because of the passport number on the about to expired one in the document I want to use for Visa.

A:

There are two things you can definitely do:

Travel with your visa in the old passport and a new passport at the same time.
Pay a fee to transfer the visa from one passport to the other.

So if you do get a UK visa in your current passport, you will in any case be able to travel with that visa and another passport after the first one expires.
I don't know exactly what will happen to the current visa application (e.g. whether you could put the visa in a new passport even though you submitted your old passport's number) but I would keep the old passport in any case.
