Info on the vignette transfer

Thought I would post this to possibly help someone in the future.

So the vignette transfer ended. Long story short , sending it to Sheffield is not correct. Vignette transfers go to New York .... but my passport arrived yesterday from .... Sheffield.

So I guess New York has to touch it and send it to Sheffield. Sending it direct somehow won't do.

So don't be like me ! Lol.

Also, they got the dates wrong and half the time they granted me is gone now .... so the journey continues.

Thanks all.

Oh no!  I was the one who was so sure it was supposed to go to Sheffield.  I am so so sorry.  Not sure how I can make that bit of information up to you!

But I do see where I got that from, as it technically did have to go back to Sheffield for reissuing.      That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

What happens now?  Are you able to travel within the *new* incorrect dates?

It's all good. It was so damn confusing ... I looked at every possible forum for a straight answer on where to send the thing , and it couldn't be found. I hope they make the process more clear for others.

Anyway, yeah. He still hasn't sold the flat but I'm tired of dealing with the passport going back and forth so I just booked a flight. Leaving in a couple weeks for Edinburgh ... can only stay a few short days due to work. But then going back in January.

I hope going through Edinburgh is ok? Dunno why it wouldn't be .... but now I'm paranoid lol. I usually go through London. And I hope my BRP is really there and waiting for me ... I won't have much time to collect it so ... fingers crossed. I can't take too many more bumps in the road.

Yes. Scotland is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom.

It's the Republic of Ireland where it isn't ok to go through as that's a different country to the UK. But because of the Common Travel Area between the UK and RoI, there is no stamp into the UK if you enter from the RoI.
