Global Talent dependant extension – main applicant has ILR and form asking for visa end date

[mdk2547]

Hello everyone,

I am seeking guidance on completing the Global Talent dependant extension form.

I am the main applicant on a Global Talent visa until 24-01-2026 and have now been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. My partner will be completing 2 years in the UK on 17-01-2026 as my dependant and is applying to extend for a further 3 years under the Global Talent dependant route.

However, the online form asks for the “main applicant’s visa end date”. As I now hold ILR, I no longer have a visa end date, but the system does not accept this and instead requires a date to be entered. The IHS fee is then being calculated based on whatever visa end date is entered, which is incorrectly limiting the dependant’s extension period.

Could you please advise what should be entered as the main applicant’s visa end date in this situation, so that the dependant can correctly apply for a 3-year Global Talent dependant extension when the main applicant already has ILR?

Thank you for your assistance.

Put a date 3 years in the future, ie 26th December 2025 to 25th December 2028.

Many thanks for your advice. My partner's visa is expiring on 24-01-2026 and her ILR clock started from 17-01-2024. So when should I apply for extension so 5 years ILR route could cover. Sometime near 17-01-2026?

Your partner should apply to extend their dependant visa at any time before/by the expiry date of the current visa (24-01-2026).
