UK Immigration has become more difficult in recent years. Each change to the immigration rules brings in tougher immigration requirements. The government has also closed several categories of visa; The Tier 1 (General) visa which allowed high value migrants to live and work in the UK was closed to almost everyone from 5 April 2011.
While the Tier 1 (General) visa and several other Tier 1 visa categories have closed to new applicants, if you are already in the UK with a Tier 1 visa, you are in a fortunate position because you could well be able to extend your stay and we at workpermit.com can help you do it.
If you are currently in the UK in one of the following categories, we can help you apply for a Tier 1 (General) extension.
- Tier 1 (General)
- Highly Skilled Migrant (HSMP)
- Writer, Composer or Artist
- Self-employed lawyer
