You can renew at any time. Your total stay on Tier 2 General for 6 years. Many people do this as two 3 year applications... You are eligible after 5 years on Tier 2 Gneral, provided you meet the other requirements.mthila wrote:My visa is due in May 2016. But due to my travel requirements (I need to visit European countries often for work purposes) I am planing to extend my visa sooner that it is required.
Could somebody tell me when is the earliest possible to renew my visa to extend the stay in the UK please?
Usually, this is when people renew their visas. The earliest you can apply for ILR is 28 days before you qualify. However, this was not the question asked. The question was about the earliest POSSIBLE date to renew - like we have said, that is whenever they want (as long as they meet the requirements for the application)!mjcr28 wrote:Hi,
I would say i have usually heard it as 28 days before date of expiry. i suggest you go through the guidance notes:

Good Luck
They might have been talking about ILR. The call centre notoriously gives false and erroneous information. Trust the guidance - Char has provided a link. You're creating yourself a problem where there isn't one!earlyrenewal wrote:Hi physicskate,
The anwsers that I am getting from visa & immigration call centre is 28 days for tier 2 extension. I am right to assume that it is ILR that they are talking about?? Their response is "every visa renewal is 28 days before renewal". Would I risk with my application being rejected when I apply before 28 days for my tier 2 visa extension with a new CoS??
My extension is due in july 2016, i may apply earlier as well if new rules coming in december may make it difficult next year...earlyrenewal wrote:Thanks very much for the information. I will go ahead with my visa application as planned.

Can you please update about your early application? did they accept it and have you got your visa ?
