COS 5 years and Visa 3 years

[tarroka]

Hi All,

I have question if you please .

I applied this month for RCOS , the COS for 5 years .

If i get the acceptance , is it possible to apply for Teir 2 visa for 3 years , or it must be 5 years ?

If i apply for 3 years visa , then when the time comes to extend , can i use same certificate? because it should be 5 years , or do i need to make new certificate and start the COS process from begining? 

Thanks.

thanks iworker.

in case i apply for 3 years ... may they refuse ? however all documents are correct and the certificate is covering the required 3 years .

if the dates on the cos are for 5 years, and you pay for 3 years visa, your application can be refused due to wrong fee/
