About the extension

Post by goodssb » Sun Nov 29, 2009 8:47 pm

Assume my hsmp visa expires on 1 Dec and I send out extension application on 30 Nov and they make approval decision on 1 Jan. Will my new visa start from 1 Jan (date of their decision) or 1 Dec (expiry date of my old visa)?

Thanks in advance.

Visa extension is from the date of expiry!

This happens in most of the case but not necessarily. My visa expired on 30th March whereas my new visa(extension) was stamped from April 7th.
