What is the visa renewal in the UK, what information is needed and what is the process?

If the study plan in the UK has not ended and the visa expires, it is recommended to renew it in the UK, because it is more direct and convenient.

The materials required for renewal in the UK are as follows:

1, passport

Two, two photos.

3. Application form for renewal.

4. Registration letter from the police station.

5. Bank statements in recent 1 month.

6. School attendance certificate. If the course you are attending is coming to an end, you need to provide the admission notice for the next course. Note that the admission notice for the next course must be unconditional. For the conditional admission notice, proof that meets the conditions must be provided.

7. Language and preparatory students also need to provide attendance records and transcripts during their studies.

8. Continuing master's degree also requires undergraduate transcripts and degree certificates.

According to the regulations, the application for renewal should be submitted four or five weeks before the visa expires. All the above materials must be provided in originals, but you should remember to leave copies.

Renewal can be done by mail or by personal signature. By mail, five weeks before the visa expires, send the application materials to the following address through the British registered delivery system:

Initial consideration unit? –? FLR(S)

Bureau of Immigration and Nationality

Yueliangfangzi

40 Wellesley Road

Croydon CR9 2BY

Please keep the registration receipt after the information is sent. It usually takes more than four weeks to get the visa results.

If you submit your application for renewal in person with complete information, you can usually get a visa on the same day. The places where renewal applications are accepted are as follows:

1, British Home Office: In Croydon, you can take the train to East Croydon at Victoria Station in London? After getting off the bus, it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the Ministry of the Interior.

2. 4 Solihull Station Road, Birmingham1Dominion Court Birmingham Immigration Bureau, zip code: 9 1 3RT.

3. Liverpool Immigration Bureau: Liverpool Immigration Bureau, Reliance Building, 20 Water Street, Liverpool 8XU.

4. Glasgow Immigration Bureau: Glasgow Immigration Bureau, Dumbarton Court, argyle Avenue, Glasgow Airport, Paisley PA3 2TD.

5. Belfast Immigration Bureau: Belfast Immigration Bureau BT 1 5EA Olive Tree Building, Fountain Street.

Whether the renewal is successful or not, the original materials will generally be returned, but sometimes home office will keep the proof of reading and the proof of language reading.

British domestic visa renewal

If you have to go back to China to apply for renewal, the required materials are basically the same as those in Britain, but the application form is different, which can be downloaded from the website of the British Embassy in China.

However, at the same time, it is also necessary to provide the source and historical explanation of the funds and the work certificate of the fund guarantor, which is similar to the financial proof materials submitted at the time of the first visa. As for the bank statement, whether it is a bank in Britain or a bank in China, as long as there is enough capital.

You don't need to make an appointment to renew in China. At 1: 30 in the afternoon, you can take the fast track to submit materials and interview. If you pass, you can get your passport and visa the next day.

In any case, you must apply for renewal before the visa expires. There was once a student who didn't pay attention to the validity of his visa. When he found out, his visa had expired, and he was immediately sent to the immigration office and then sent back to China.

Later, I spent a lot of time in China and asked a British lawyer to re-apply for a visa. The students are afraid to recall this experience. So be sure to pay attention to the duration of the visa on your passport and try to submit an application for renewal before the visa expires. If any materials can't be submitted in time, be sure to attach a letter of explanation, explaining what materials are missing, the reasons for the lack, and when to make up.
