Adverse immigration history in the UK
I had lived in the UK for the last five years on work visas. But I was unsuccessful on my renewal of my last visa application. I did not have an extension to stay in the country as my visa expired during the application and the Home Office held my visa. I left the UK within the 30-day voluntary leave period and my passport was returned back to me at the airport when I checked in for the flight I was flying out of. I plan to go back to the UK to visit friends within the next 3 months. Will I have issues when I get to the UK border? I only plan on visiting the UK for 2-3 weeks and I have a return flight booked.
Would getting a new passport with a new number be better for me?
Best Answer
Changing your passport does not change who you are and will not make any difference to your chances of entering the UK.
Edit: The section below is not correct. As noted in comments, you do have an overstay record which will be considered in any future application.
[It sounds from your description like you don't really have an adverse history; when your application was rejected, you complied with the rules and left the UK.]
You can apply for a visit visa and as long as the visa office is satisfied that you meet the criteria, you will get a visit visa. You will need to show ties to your home country, such as having a job, and that you have enough money to pay for your trip.
