What is the minimum number of months for Tier2 visa extension?

Post by Moskiny » Thu Jan 25, 2018 6:42 pm

Hi all,

Is there a lower limit to the number of months that one can extend a Tier2 visa for?

I asked this because according to this page https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits , it kind of seems like they are defining biometric residence permit (BRP) in terms of minimum of 6 months. I navigated to the above link by clicking on the link in the last sentence of this page https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/extend-your-visa

Thank you as I anticipate your kind response,

Moskiny

Not sure your question is clear. Minimum extension as in how early you can extend your visa or what exactly is the issue with extension.
I am not a lawyer and do not claim to be one. All my comments here are based on my opinions, experience and interpretation of the appropriate UKVI guidance documents and immigration rules.

Thanks for your response.

My question is, can you extend Tier2 visa for just 2 or 3 months?

Why would you only want such a short extension?

What is your immigration history and circumstances?
