## Documents required
- Passport valid for the whole stay, with a blank page for the visa
- Completed online application submitted via gov.uk
- Biometrics (fingerprints and photo) given at a Visa Application Centre
- Bank statements, usually covering 28 days, showing sufficient funds
- Evidence of employment or income
- Travel itinerary and accommodation details
- Evidence of ties to your home country (job, property, family) showing you will return
- Sponsor or invitation documents where someone else is funding or hosting the visit

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **limited**
- Must leave the country: **yes**
- Cost: £1,172

Normally only to complete 6 months from the date you arrived, where you were granted less. Past 6 months just three groups qualify: private medical treatment (a further 6 months), academics (12 months total), and doctors sitting PLAB or on a clinical attachment.

**Cost detail.** The £1,172 covers the main applicant and any dependants. Non-refundable if refused.

**How.** Apply online to the Home Office before your current permission expires. Decisions typically take around 8 weeks.

**If you cannot extend.** A fresh 6-month Standard Visitor visa from outside the UK costs £135 — roughly one-ninth the in-country extension fee. For most visitors, leaving and re-applying is far cheaper than extending.
