Standard Visitor Visa

12.09.2025 14:15:10 Yes, you can apply to extend your Standard Visitor Visa while you are in the UK under certain circumstances. Typically, you can extend your stay if: 1. You have not exceeded the maximum duration of 6 months allowed for a Standard Visitor Visa. 2. You have a valid reason for needing more time in the UK, such as medical treatment or other compelling reasons. 3. Your total stay in the UK will not exceed 6 months from the date of your original entry. To apply for an extension, you'll need to demonstrate that you continue to meet the eligibility requirements and provide supporting documentation for your request. It's important to apply before your current visa expires to avoid overstaying. Keep in mind that each case is unique, and it's advisable to consult with an immigration advisor or check the official UK government website for the most up-to-date guidance and information on extending a Standard Visitor Visa.

16.09.2025 13:00:00 In most cases, a Standard Visitor visa cannot be extended beyond the 6-month maximum stay. When you apply, the Home Office expects you to leave the UK before the visa expires. However, there are limited exceptions where an in-country extension may be possible, such as if you are in the UK for private medical treatment, academic research, or as an organ donor. In those situations, an extension up to 11 or 12 months may be granted with strong supporting evidence. For a general tourist or family visit, the rules do not allow switching to another visa or extending simply to stay longer. Overstaying can seriously impact future applications. If you wish to spend more time in the UK in future, the correct approach is to apply for a new visa from outside the UK once your current stay ends.

17.09.2025 13:13:23 Normally, a Standard Visitor visa cannot be extended beyond the 6-month limit. The Home Office expects visitors to leave the UK when their visa expires. However, there are limited exceptions. You may apply for an extension if you are in the UK for private medical treatment (up to 11–12 months total), academic research (up to 12 months), or if you are an organ donor. In these cases, you must provide strong supporting evidence such as medical letters, research invitations, or proof of the donation procedure. For tourism, family visits, or business purposes, extensions are not allowed. You must leave the UK and apply for a new visa from abroad if you wish to return. Overstaying, even briefly, can seriously affect future applications. It is therefore important to act before your current visa expires.
