You have to leave UK to change your status if you're in the country as a visitor. For example:MerlynFL16 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 2:02 pmThank you.
Would you know how easy it might be to apply for a family visa whilst in the UK on a six month permitted stay?
There is no intention to live in the UK permanently but there may be a need to provide support to an unwell family member.
Thanks in advance
Also I'm unsure what kind of visa (if any) would be given in this case.When you cannot get a family visa
In some circumstances you cannot apply for, or switch to, a family visa.

You’ll usually need to leave the UK to apply for a family visa if either:
you have permission to be in the UK as a visitor
your visa is for 6 months or less
Any support that requires one to stay here for 6 months isn't support anymore. It's working/living here. It's fine as a one off in a year, but jetting out to jet back in quickly for another 6 months is just IMM101. I'm sure you'd know that you're not the first to have thought about this move and probably won't be the last.MerlynFL16 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 2:02 pmThank you.

Not only is it not easy, it normally is non existent. If you know this already maybe apply for the family visa ab initio as your stated question appears to be on circumventing the immigration process and HO has seen it all.MerlynFL16 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 2:02 pmThank you.

Ok, thank you for clarifying.
