Hi, what if my work visa expires, will the visitor’s visa come to work if there is like 5 years left till it expires?
If you get a work visa, the visitor visa that you currently have is cancelled and replaced by the work visa.
If your work visa expires, you need to leave the UK and reapply for another visa for which you are eligible.Any earlier visa does not revive.
And after a work visa, where you have demonstrated a desire to reside in the UK rather than merely visit, you may find it harder to get a visit visa. You could get a visit visa if you can show that you want to visit the UK to wind down activities that you had started while you were residing in the UK (shift house, ship stuff abroad, etc).
