When I can extend my Tier-2 visa?

Post by amkay » Wed Sep 15, 2021 7:19 pm

Hi all,

I have a Tier-2 visa and I want to know when is the earliest time that I can apply for the extension of my visa? My employer told me three months before the expiry date of my visa but I can't find it in Home Office website and documents. I want to know is it correct or they can issue a new CoS earlier for me?

I believe there are no restrictions with extensions. So, anytime before expiry of leave. However, you should not apply for ILR sooner than 28 days prior to completing the qualifying period for ILR.

Many thanks for your response. Can I give reference to any immigration rule or anything in Home Office documents to convince my employer?
