leave to enter or remain?

[Lid92]

Hi, I hope you are all well.

I got my spouse visa 2 and a half years ago and should extend it next month. My BPR says: time of permit:‘leave to enter’.

Is that mean I now have ‘leave to enter’ or ‘leave to remain’?
Or I have ‘leave to enter’ and I should apply for ‘Leave to remain’?
What visa do I have now?

Also, does anybody know how long it takes to get an answer if I apply with no priority service?

I would appreciate if someone could explain me this Thanks!!!

So you obviously applied from outside the UK. Your visa allows you to enter (leave to enter). If you had a fiancée visa and applied whilst in the UK for your 1st spouse visa, it would be leave to remain (cause you're already here).
Further application, which has to be done inside the UK is further leave to remain.

On a side note. Same thing/rules applies to Indefinite leave to remain and indefinite leave to enter. It just denotes where it was received or applied from.

Thank you for your reply.

As you assumed, I applied outside the UK and moved here. Not as a fiancé, but as married. Since then I haven’t applied to any other visas. I’m here since the I got my leave to enter.

Now I need to renew.

So if I got it correctly. I have now leave to enter and need to apply to leave to remain? Am I correct?

Yes. You apply using form FLR(M) for another 2.5 year extension.
