Student Visa Extension

About Student Visa Extension

If you are already in the UK on a Student Visa and need to continue studying, you will usually need to extend your leave before your current permission expires. Extensions are common where you are moving onto a new course, progressing academically or completing a longer programme. The Home Office expects to see proper academic progression, a fresh Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies and up-to-date evidence of finances and English. RakLAW manages the extension end to end, helping you stay compliant and uninterrupted in your studies.

Who this is for

  • Existing students moving to a new course
  • Students progressing to a higher level of study
  • Applicants nearing the end of their current leave
  • Students whose circumstances or sponsor have changed

How RakLAW helps

  • Checking academic progression and sponsor requirements
  • Reviewing your new CAS and course details
  • Preparing fresh financial and English evidence
  • Filing the extension before your current leave expires
  • Advising on refusals, reviews and contingency options
