Application For Vignette Transfer UK Visa (Vignette Replacement Application)
If you been granted a 90 day vignette and you fail to enter the UK within the 90 day validity period, you can make an application for a replacement 90 day vignette by applying for a Transfer of Conditions.
If the applicant loses or has their passport (& vignette) stolen before they travel to the UK, they will need to replace the passport and report the loss/theft to the police before making a Transfer of Conditions application for a replacement 90 day vignette. Where it is reasonable for them to do so, the applicant should provide evidence that they have reported the loss/theft to the police.
How To Apply For Replacement Vignette?
If your 90 day vignette has expired, you will need to apply for a replacement by completing the online form. The cost of replacing an expired 90 day vignette is £154 and you will need to make an appointment to resubmit your biometric information.
The Home Office UKVI strongly advise that you only apply to replace an expired vignette, when you are confident you can travel to the UK. The new vignette will be valid for a period of 90 days. If you cannot travel during this time, you may need to apply again to update your vignette.
If you have submitted an application for a replacement vignette, and are still awaiting a decision, but now no longer intend to travel, you should submit a withdrawal request at the Visa Application Centre that you applied from in order for your passport to be released back to you.
When you arrive in the UK you will not be penalised for being unable to collect your biometric residence permit (BRP) while coronavirus measures are in place.
