What Is UK Visa Renewal?
UK visa renewal is further extension of your existing leave to enter or remain within the same visa category. If you are already in the UK with limited leave to enter or remain, it may be possible to apply for renewal / extension of your stay for further period of time as stipulated in the UK Immigration Rules. If you apply for extension of your UK visa before the expiry of your current leave to enter or remain, you will continue to be lawfully in the UK by virtue of Section 3C of Immigration Act 1971 and your leave will be extended under the terms and conditions of the leave you had at the time of submission of your extension application until the outcome of your application. In the event of refusal of your extension application, your Section 3C leave will continue until an Administrative Review (AR) or appeal rights (as the case may be) are exhausted.
