Reg: Min how many days before we need to apply for extension

[sred343]

Hi,

I am on Tier 1 General and my visa is going to expire in the first week of Jan - 12. As per the earnings required, I am getting the earnings with the salary of November, i.e. I get my November salary on 1st Dec. I got few questions regarding my extension.

1. I read somewhere like we need to apply before 28 days. My question is, if I apply for the extension in less than 28 days i.e. if I apply just before 20 days or so.. is that could potentially cause any problem (as I need to get the bank statement of that month to apply for the extension)

2. What age will be taken into consideration? Is it the age at the time of our initial application or is it the current age?

Thanks in advance.

1) No. You can apply on the last day of visa validity also so 20 days before no issue.
2) age at the time of initial application
