Standard Visitor Visa

16.09.2025 13:16:23 Yes, it is possible to apply for an extension of your Standard Visitor Visa while you are still in the UK, but only under certain circumstances. Typically, a Standard Visitor Visa allows you to stay in the UK for up to six months. However, you might be able to extend your visa if: 1. **Medical Treatment**: You need additional time for private medical treatment. 2. **Academic Visits**: You are an academic on sabbatical and can show that you need more time to complete your research. 3. **Court Proceedings**: You are required to attend court as a witness or for other legal proceedings. In most cases, though, extensions are not granted simply for tourism or visiting family and friends. To apply for an extension, you will need to submit an application before your current visa expires and provide a valid reason along with supporting documentation. It’s advisable to consult the official UK government website or seek legal advice specific to your situation for detailed guidance on how to proceed with your application.

17.09.2025 13:05:33 In most cases, you cannot extend a Standard Visitor visa beyond the 6-month maximum stay. The Home Office expects you to leave the UK before your visa expires. However, there are limited exceptions where an extension may be possible. For example, if you are in the UK for private medical treatment, academic research, or as an organ donor, you may apply to extend your visa up to 11–12 months, provided you submit strong supporting evidence. If you entered on a marriage/civil partnership visit visa and need more time to marry, you may be able to extend for a short period. But for general tourism, family visits, or business conferences, an extension is not permitted, and you must apply for a new visa from abroad. Overstaying even for a short period can seriously impact future applications, so it is essential to act before your visa expires.

17.09.2025 13:32:05 A Standard Visitor visa is normally limited to a maximum of 6 months per visit and cannot be extended simply for tourism, visiting family, or business purposes. The Home Office requires you to leave the UK before your visa expires. However, there are limited exceptions where an in-country extension is possible. These include: Private medical treatment – you may extend up to 11–12 months total, with medical confirmation and proof of funds. Academic research or exchange – certain qualified academics can extend up to 12 months. Organ donors – if you are in the UK to donate an organ to a close relative. For marriage/civil partnership visit visas, a short extension may also be possible to complete the ceremony. If your reason does not fall under these categories, you must leave the UK and apply again from abroad. Overstaying can seriously affect future applications.
