Need some help with my passport and visa?

I'm a South African living in the UK and I recently renewed my passport as it expired in June next year. But it obviously doesn't contain a copy of my visa (two year working/Holiday). How do I go about getting a copy of my visa into the new passport? Do I need to schedule a meeting with the British Embassy or something else? Also, is the visa in my old passport still valid documentation as it only expires halfway through 2010?

The visa in your old passport is still valid. You will have to present both passports when entering the United Kingdom. I don't think it makes sence to travel back to South Africa and have the High Commission to add the visa to your new passport.

Keep the old passport. I assume your passport is issued by South Africa and Visa by UK. This is not unusual that the passport and visa don't expire the same time. Many governments do is- transfer the remaining "VISA" time on the new passport at a nominal fee. Check with the UK embassy (assuming that is the country issued your visa). I went through this just a few months ago; but the two countries are different than yours. I know some people travel with the two passports - the new one and the old one with valid visa. I felt the nominal fee was worth it to carry only one document around.
Good Luck.
