If you are already lawfully in the UK, you may be able to switch from your current visa category to a difference visa category from inside the UK.
What Is Visa Switching?
Switching’ is where an applicant with one type of leave to remain or immigration status in the UK applies for leave to remain from inside the UK to seek stay under some other visa category. If you are not allowed by the Immigration Rules to switch your visa status from one visa category to the other, the application you make for variation of leave to remain may not succeed. It is therefore important to understand the switching rules to switch from one visa category to the other from inside the UK. In cases where you cannot switch from your current visa status to another from inside the UK, the rules require that you have to leave the UK and apply for UK visa Entry Clearance from your country of nationality.
Our expert team of immigration solicitors can provide legal help and assistance with switching from one visa category to the other from inside the UK. For certain applications, we can also provide Super Priority Service for switching visas from inside the UK.

You may be able to apply for extension/renewal of your leave to enter or remain for a further period of time if you are already in the UK with limited leave to enter or remain.
What Is UK Visa Renewal?
UK visa renewal is further extension of your existing leave to enter or remain within the same visa category. If you are already in the UK with limited leave to remain, it may be possible to apply for renewal/extension of your leave to remain in the UK. Unless the Immigration Rules state to the contrary, an application for extension/renewal of stay can only be submitted from inside the UK so that the applicant can continue under the same visa category under which he was granted initial leave to enter or remain.
