HSMP extension query

[annyk]

If you are not able to travel within 6 months after getting HSMP approval, can you apply for extension? If not, can you at lease reapply for fresh HSMP?

thanks for info,
Anny

Yes, you can still enter.

I entered U.K after 8 months of my 1 year visa and i still got the extension.

I think you are talking about just HSMP approval letter not Enetry Clearence. Am I right?

Well if you have only approval letter not EC then you cannot extent the approval letter. Its validity is SIX MONTHS. You hve to apply again for approval.

If you have already got Entry clearence, then you can travel until the validity of Entry Clearence. But if you are late in travelling , say one year, you might have difficulty in extention.

Thanks!

Yes I mean the case of HSMP approval but no EC.

What is the validity of Entry Clearance?

thanks again,

Do I need to state a reason for "extension of HSMP " approval ? To get the HSMP approval extension , what is the procedure ? I need to pay some fees ?
