Right of abode renewal

ARRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrg
Why is it so hard to renew my Right of abode ey ?
The application from (VAF7)that I am told I need says its for out side the uk applicate only ? and I have lived in the uk for eight years.The visa enqiries number is not accessable 08450105555 to speek to anybody reagrding above or to make an appointment so I can do it in person, as I donot want to mail off my two passports in hopes that they donot gewt lost in the mail.
If there is anyone that has had to renew there right of abode in the uk, what did you have to do?
If there is anyone that can give me the ansmers to the above I will be a very happy woman indead!

I didn't think that Right of Abode expired?

I think Mari-mac is right? What exactly is the visa type in your passport?

If you have been living in the uk legally for the last 8 years you should have Indefinate leave to remain or at least the possible right to apply for this.

It all depends on what your visa currently says.

Yes my right of abode on my expired passport does not work because it is only valid with an passport that is not expired. I have a new passport and need to get and right of abode to make it valid. I have been warned last time I came back from Canada that they may not let me in because of this.

Okay that's a little clearer. From what I understand, again after having lived in the UK you should definately look into indefinate leave to remain which *I believe* would allow you to travel with a british passport. however I can't remember exactly as it's been awhile since I've looked into this.

I do recall someone mentioning that it is possible to transfer your visa etc to a new passport however there *is* a fee involved to do this.

I would suggest contacting the Canadian embassy or the British consulate to obtain more information on your options.

This is a link to information I found on the subject at the Durham university website:

This page mentions reapplying for Right of Abode - but it seems to mention the same form that you've already said:

Riverfox - as far as I understand, Right of Abode is higher than Indefinite Leave to Remain - so if you moved back to Canada, you would still retain RoA to return to the UK, but your ILR would be lost.

However, as melo has lived here for than 5 years, you could also apply for British Citizenship, and become a dual citizen.

Did not know that. Thanks Mari -- learn something new every day.

Hey m in a same situatio is there anybody out there that knows what supporting documents you have to send if you want ur riight of abode transferred to a new passprt? Please somone reply back. Thnks

On the basis that you are in Canada & you are speaking of the certificate of entitlement to right of abode (ROA), then in Toronto you can go with your expired Canadian passport with the certificate inside & the renewed passport to Worldbridge services (UKBA in Canada) to get another ROA certificate

If you are somewhere else in Canada find the local worldbridge closest to you - do it on a google search. They are located in St Johns Nfld, Halifax NS, Edmonton AB & Vancouver BC.

You need to fill in the VAF7 application & provide the documentation + a fee which is currently around $400.

At the time of this post I dont know if you can apply on-line for this
