Apply
Read the full guidance before you apply.
Apply from outside the UK
You must apply online for this visa.
Proving your identity and providing supporting documents
You’ll either:
- use the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app to scan your identity document - you’ll also create or sign into your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account
- have your fingerprints and photo (biometric information) taken at a visa application centre
You’ll be told what you need to do when you apply.
If you do need an appointment:
- you’ll need to take your passport with you to the visa application centre (you’ll be able to collect it on the day)
- you may have to travel to get to your nearest centre (this could be in another country)
You may be able to pay to get a faster decision.
Apply from inside the UK
You can only extend your existing visa if you’re already in the UK.
