Extension of Leave to Remain

Sometimes it may become necessary to stay in the country longer than the period permitted by your visa. In such circumstances, contact Tamsons Legal Services before your visa expires if you intend to apply for an extension.

Holders of visitor visas generally cannot switch to other immigration categories and may need either to apply for an extension where the rules permit or leave the UK when their permission expires. Overstaying can have serious immigration consequences.

Extension of Leave to Remain

The appropriate application depends on your current visa, reason for staying and personal circumstances. Seek advice early so that deadlines and evidence requirements can be considered.
