My wifes passport is due to expire in 6 months and we are not sure what the process is for renewing from here as well as how this affects her residency visa which is on her current passport?

Any advice is really apprciated

u just carry 2 passports around, you can go to immigration and pay some more and they will cancel and reissue in new passport if you want to be bothered.

overseas passport applications now go to liverpool not dusseldorf, same procedure as before.

resident visa are process here, nothing to do with the uk obviously, as said before you just have 2 passports for the duration of your visa, or pay again and get it transferred, but its not worth the bother.

Final question. Does the rule apply about having 6 months validity to travel to the UAE? I want to book flights home today for July. When we fly back in July my wifes passport will only have 3 months validity left so will she still be able to enter the UAE given that i have read you muct have at least 6 months validity on your passport to enter. Or is this not an issues since she has a residency visa?

usually as long as there is a residency visa in the passport they arent bothered we travelled to paris returned with passport only 3 months left.

if going back to the uk for the summer get it processed there, a lot cheaper.
