Details

This guidance tells caseworkers how to consider transfer of conditions (TOC) applications made in the UK.

The transfer of conditions process (ToC), is an administrative process by which a person with limited leave to enter, or limited leave to remain with no identity document can update their biographic information and/or photograph. They will be invited to attend a VAC (visa application centre) appointment to enrol their biometric details.
