Normal extension period for HSMP Tier-1 (General) visa

[315cool]

Hi folks,

Upon completion of initial 3-year term, what's the normal extension period for HSMP Tier-1 (General) visa ?

While browsing through various posts, the period was noted to be 2 or 3 years.

Is there a fixed or typical extension term of 2 or 3 years ?

Cheers,

2 years for those currently with Tier-1 and 3 years for those currently with leave to remain under HSMP.

Thanks indeed crowbar6 for your prompt response.

Apologies for repeating the query, as the definition was not understood.

The initial HSMP Tier-1 (General) visa has been issued for 3 years.

At the end of first 3-year term, the application made for visa extension - should it be called "Leave to remain"? or should it be called "Tier-1" ?

If someone has leave to remain under HSMP, he/she will get 3 years of Tier 1 extenstion.

If someone has leave to remain under Tier 1, he/she will get 2 years of of Tier 1 extension.
