Commonwealth Applicant to Royal Army Visa Query

Post by kitce » Mon Mar 03, 2014 1:49 pm

Hello, i'm from the island of Barbados (Commonwealth)and have been in the UK on a general visitor's visa and have recently completed the recruiting selections for entry to the royal army and have been told that my provisional start date to begin the phase 1 stage in April 2014 (during pre-selection and the 2 day selection course my passport and visitor visa were both cleared as being appropriate to continue my application process) and have recently received mailed pre-employment check/disclosure scotland forms mailed to my sponsors address by the recruitment team,however my visa will expire on March 28th 2014 and after many hours of research on the ukba's website i have found very little information on if and how my type of visa can be renewed within the uk,can anyone please advise?

On recruitment to HM forces a person is exempt from immigration control under section 8(4)(a) of immigration act 1971.
