It's a great feeling isn't it. Don't forget to check that the passport numbers are correct on the individual stamps. Someone on here didn't check theirs and ran into problems when they emigrated!

If you look carefully at the stamp in each passport you will see a long number on it. It should be the same as your passport number. Just double check that the numbers are correct. I haven't got my passport with me but the numbers might have your date of birth included in them. Take a look at it and it'll make sense (I hope). If you get stuck let me know and I'll dig out my passport when I get home tonight

Hmm...thanks for that...now I'M STRESSING!!!!!!

This is what we've got: ( on the bottom line of the visa sticker :

4xxxxxxxx<<<<<UK<<xxxxxxF<BN<136<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The first lot of numbers correspond with my passport number - except - THE END NUMBER IS MISSING!!!!!

I know that after the 'uk' bit, is our dates of birth, backwards, plus 'm' or 'f' for male or female, and im presuming the end bit is 136 - our visa class?

Why are we all missing the end number?

HELP!!!

Don't get too stressed - that's exactly how it should be. Think its just their kind of joke to wind up the Poms !!!

Mine is the same and I have been over to validate - just as long as the passport no is correct you are OK

Yeah, there is definitely a number missing somewhere beween the long strip number on the bottom of your passport and the visa but it seems just to be a random number added to your proper passport number (top right of passport photo page). Hope that makes some sense to someone
