Can I stay in the UK if my visa has not expired?

Yes, people only look at your visa. As long as your visa has not expired, unless you make a big mistake or cause any bad influence, there is no reason for others to kick you out.

It is complicated and tedious to renew a British visa after its expiration, but it is not difficult to renew a British visa as long as the arrangements are reasonable and the materials are complete.

Many China students who are already in the UK, or workers with work visas, are afraid to apply for returning to China when changing their visas. Some people would rather stay in Britain than apply for a visa back home, which is a big misunderstanding, even though they know that renewal is impossible. Most applicants are afraid to go back to China to apply for visas because they are worried that they will not get visas after returning home, which will affect their studies or careers in the UK.

Before the implementation of the graded visa policy in Britain, all the provisions of the immigration law did not specify the applicant's requirements in a certain aspect. For example, the explanation of economic problems only says that it will not increase the burden on the government and will not apply for welfare. In fact, there is no uniform law on how to define the criteria for applying for benefits. Therefore, it was much less difficult to renew a visa in the UK than to apply for a visa in China. Visa officers in Britain should not expect too much from applicants because of their inexperience. Usually they can get a visa as long as they meet the most basic legal standards, so it was much easier to get a visa in Britain than in China.

However, in 2008, after Britain began to implement the graded visa system, the criteria for applying for visas in Britain or China have been unified, and there is no difficulty or difficulty. For example, the requirements for the deposit period of the same type of visa are exactly the same, and the only difference is the amount. Usually, the amount of visa funds in Britain is lower than that of overseas applications. However, because there is no lengthy explanation of the so-called source of funds, there is no difference in visa difficulty.

However, many applicants are still appealing after being refused visas in Britain because of their outdated ideas. The first appeal failed and a second appeal was made. If it is unsuccessful, try to sign again (in fact, it is impossible because the visa has expired), which eventually leads to overstaying and being forced to leave the country. This kind of practice now seems unnecessary, even stupid. Many British applicants have spent a year appealing, but if they return to China to apply for a visa, they can finish it in two weeks. So, please don't do anything to stay in the UK and renew your visa. Instead, you should apply for a visa by yourself according to the normal legal process, and choose a visa from China or the United Kingdom reasonably.
