Extending your family visa
You can apply to extend a family visa before it ends. A family visa is any of the following:
a partner visa
a child visa
a visa as the parent of a child living in the UK
It will cost over £1,500 to apply to extend your visa.
Your visa will usually be extended for 2 years and 6 months. In some cases you can apply to live in the UK permanently instead - this is called ‘indefinite leave to remain’.
You should apply to extend your visa in the 28 days before it ends.
