Visa advice: extending your UK visa overseas
new students applying overseas...>>
Current students extending their Tier 4 visa overseas:
- You will need to follow the application process in your home country.
- Generally, documents required are the same as if you were applying in the UK. There are three exceptions:
- Application form - you will need to fill in a different form - this will be online in many countries. For those countries not using the online form, you must fill in the VAF 9 paper form.
View further details from the Home Office - Translations - if applying overseas, translations do not need to include details of the translator/translation company's credentials (qualifications/associations)
- Application fee is £298 (instead of £406 if applying in the UK)
- Application form - you will need to fill in a different form - this will be online in many countries. For those countries not using the online form, you must fill in the VAF 9 paper form.
