UK Student Visa Extention

3 Simple Steps to Complete Current Program & Extend Your UK Student Visa

For Students

Just follow the 3 simple steps to complete your current program in the same university and extend your UK student visa.

A) If you are a student with a Student Visa who has been in the UK for more than 12 months, then you do not need to show required balance and supporting documents, in order to get the CAS Letter.
B) If you are a student with a Student Visa who has been in the UK for less than 12 months, then you will need to show required balance and supporting documents, in order to get the CAS Letter.
In either of the cases mentioned above, we will fill your application from India and will also submit it online for further processing.
You will have to complete your Biometric assessment in the UK, on your own, once the entire process has been successfully completed.

For Dependent Candidates

You can apply to extend your dependent’s visa at the same time as you extend your own visa.

If you are applying as a dependent on the basis of the main applicant, who has been in the UK for 12 months or more, then you do not need to provide any supporting funds during the application.
If you are applying as a dependent on the basis of the main applicant, who has been in the UK for less than 12 months, then you need to provide supporting funds during the application.

*If you cannot apply at the same time, your partner or child can extend their visas at a later stage – this must be before their current visa expires.
