Sorry, this might be a bit of a dumb question, but can I apply for a 3 or 5 year GT visa if my passport expires in 2 years? Is it possible that in two years I will have to redo the visa application again?
You just need a passport with up to six month validity. You will only get three months visa. When you arrive the UK, you will get a Biometric residence permit. You can renew your passport in the UK.

Hi @Francisca_Chiedu apologies if this sound dumb but do you mean that I will only be granted a 3 months visa if say my passport expires in December next year (2023) and I apply for visa to enter UK in January. This is my present predicament.
No, you won’t be granted 3 months visa. Your passport will be stamped with 3 months vignettes (it’s a normal thing for everybody) to enter the UK. When you get to the UK, you can then collect your BRP. You have no issues at all, you’re fine.
