UK Visa Extensions & Renewals Made Simple

An expiring visa is stressful, but you do not have to face it alone. Our immigration solicitors handle extensions and renewals across every category, from partner visas to settlement.

You speak directly to a qualified solicitor from day one — no call centres, no junior staff learning on your case — and we work on fixed fees agreed in writing before any work begins, so you know the cost up front.

Past results do not guarantee any particular outcome; every application is decided by the Home Office on its own facts.

Complete UK Visa Extension & Renewal Services

Every route works differently. Submit late, or leave out a single document, and you could be looking at a refusal that takes months to sort out.

  • *Partner/Spouse Visa Extensions** — further leave under Appendix FM before you can apply for settlement. We handle the relationship evidence, the financial requirement, and your English-language proof.
  • *Work Visa Renewals** — Skilled Worker, Global Talent and other employment routes. That includes checking sponsor compliance and salary thresholds against the current rules.
  • *Student Visa Extensions** — whether you're continuing your studies or switching to the Graduate route, we'll make sure the course-progression requirements are properly addressed.
  • *Visit Visa Extensions** — only possible in limited circumstances. We assess your eligibility before you commit to anything.
  • *ILR Applications** — the settlement step once you've completed your qualifying period.

Our fees are fixed and agreed in writing. It doesn't matter how complex your case is — you pay exactly what we quoted. Nothing more.

03

Why Extensions Get Refused — and How We Help

A leading cause of refusal is a problem with evidence or timing. The areas that most often cause difficulty are:

Financial Evidence: each route requires specific financial proof. For partner routes, the minimum income figure has changed recently — check the current figure on GOV.UK (gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse). We build a checklist tailored to your route.

Application Forms and Questions: the forms change regularly. We make sure the application is completed correctly.

Timing: applying too early, or after your leave has expired, causes problems. We time your application so your status stays continuous.

English Language: using the wrong test or an expired certificate leads to refusals. We verify the accepted evidence before submission.

Relationship Evidence: for partner routes, we help you evidence that the relationship is still genuine and subsisting.

Where an extension has already been refused, see our visa refusal and appeals service. Past results do not guarantee any particular outcome.

Fixed Fees for UK Visa Extensions

Hidden fees and hourly billing are the last thing you need when you're already worried about your status. So we work on fixed fees — agreed in writing, before any work begins, and confirmed at your free consultation.

Here's exactly what's always included:

  • Complete application preparation and submission
  • Document review and verification
  • Form completion and checking
  • Direct solicitor consultation
  • Application tracking and updates
  • Post-decision support

There are some separate Home Office costs we can't control:

  • Application fees and the Immigration Health Surcharge, set by the Home Office — check the current amounts at gov.uk
  • Translation and courier costs where needed

But our fee? The price we quote is the price you pay. Payment plans may be available too.

How We Strengthen an Extension Application

Every application is prepared by a qualified, SRA-regulated immigration solicitor — not a call centre or an unregulated adviser. In practice that means:

  • Confirming you still meet the requirements for your route and matching your evidence to the correct category.
  • Timing the application so your leave does not lapse.
  • Verifying English-language, financial and relationship evidence against the current rules.
  • Flagging anything that needs resolving before submission rather than after a refusal.

We handle straightforward and complex cases across all the main extension routes, and we will tell you honestly where a requirement is difficult to meet.

Past results do not guarantee any particular outcome; every application is decided by the Home Office on its own facts.

Common Questions

uk visa extensions renewals FAQ

Plain-English answers to the questions we hear most often about uk visa extensions renewals.

Ask Us Anything

Apply before your current leave expires — don't let it lapse. We'd normally suggest starting a couple of months early, so you've got time to pull together your documents and sit any required tests. Check the exact window for your route on GOV.UK, and we'll work out the best timing for your situation.

Depending on the route and the reasons, you may be able to appeal or apply for an administrative review, and time limits are short. We review the decision and advise on the strongest route, and early advice helps protect your position. Past results do not guarantee any particular outcome.

If you applied on time and had the right to work on your existing visa, you can usually keep working under Section 3C leave while you wait for a decision. The rules aren't the same for every route though — switching from a student visa, for instance, works differently — so we'll give you guidance that's specific to your situation.

Our legal fees are fixed and agreed in writing before we start any work — you'll know exactly what you're paying at your free consultation. Home Office application fees and the Immigration Health Surcharge are separate costs set by the Home Office itself, so check the current amounts at gov.uk. If your documents aren't in English, translation costs may also apply.

Technically, yes — you can apply yourself. But visa extensions come with detailed requirements that change regularly, and if your application is refused, the consequences can be serious, including having to leave the UK. A qualified solicitor reviews your evidence against the current rules before you submit anything, which can save you from a costly — and stressful — refusal.

Typically you'll need things like relationship evidence – joint accounts, letters addressed to you both – along with financial documents covering the relevant period, such as payslips and bank statements. Proof of accommodation is usually required too, plus an accepted English-language qualification. That said, the exact documents depend on your situation. We'll put together a personalised checklist so you know exactly what to gather.
