Extension UK Student Visa

If you are already in the UK on a study visa and wish to extend your stay, you may be able to apply for a Tier 4 (General) student visa extension. To be eligible, you must meet certain requirements, which include:

• Continuing your studies: You must continue your studies with the same education provider, or at a higher level with a different education provider.

• Financial requirements: You must show that you have enough money to cover your tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your extended stay.

• Academic progress: You must have made academic progress in your studies.

• English language proficiency: You must continue to meet the English language requirements for your course.

• Tuberculosis test: You may be required to undergo a tuberculosis (TB) test if you are applying from a country where TB is prevalent.

• Criminal record: You must not have a criminal record that could affect your application.

• Health requirements: You must not have a serious health condition that could affect public health or require extensive medical treatment in the UK.

It is important to note that the application process for a Tier 4 student visa extension can be complex, and it is recommended that you seek advice from a qualified immigration lawyer if you are considering extending your stay in the UK. You should also apply for an extension well in advance of the expiration date of your current visa to allow sufficient time for processing.
