You can apply for extension of your dependant visa from inside the UK if you are already in the UK on dependant visa and your dependant visa is about to expire. In most cases, the dependant will apply for extension at the same time when the main applicant is also applying for extension of his/her visa. However, where the main applicant is applying for ILR or has already been granted ILR as under work visa category and the dependant could not apply for ILR due to some reasons, the dependant can apply for extension of dependant visa.

A dependant is granted 3 years leave to remain where the main applicant has already been granted ILR as under work visa category. In most cases, the grant of 3 years extension enables the dependant to complete the qualifying period of 5 years for ILR as a dependant. An application for extension of dependant visa is made in accordance with requirements as set out in the UK Immigration Rules.
