This area covers how long a visa or leave to remain lasts, and what happens when that period ends. It deals with visa durations set under the UK Immigration Rules, and how to extend, switch, or apply for a new route before the current permission expires. A solicitor helps clients gather required evidence, prepare and submit extension or switch applications, respond to Home Office requests, and advise on deadlines and potential consequences of overstaying or loss of permission.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the specific steps within the immigration system, including gathering documents, completing Home Office forms, calculating lawful duration, and liaising with UK Visas and Immigration. They may also advise on required maintenance funds, English language evidence, and the impact of changes in circumstances on visa length and future applications.
