Extn application on Sat-Sun before 6-Apr possible or not?

[t1s2010]

I need to attend client in EU before I apply for T1-extension.
Since, UKBA will not accept application from 6-April which is a Monday, can I send my postal application on Friday or Saturday i.e. Apr 03 or April 04?

They are open on Saturdays
Check availability for same day and select day preference for Saturday, which will give you date options of saturday

Hi,

Ideally if you post your application via Royal mail your date of postage is considered as your application date. If you courier your application the date of receipt by UKBA is considered as your application date.

I believe it is Easter week-end so even if postal date is accepted you may not be able to post it via Royal mail. I'm not aware of any post office open on Saturday/Sunday.

Which leaves you with only 2 options -

1. Find if there are any special week-end post offices you can go to post your application.
2. Check if any of the PEOs are working that Saturday.

All the best!!

Thanks.

Pranav, Thank you!!!

It was a good note and set the alarm.

In canary wharf, I walked to one post office to check about Sat 04 April opening and called another post office (back up ) to reconfirm myself.

They are open on all Saturday mornings including long weekend one but collection is 12ish noon so anything before that will work.
I checked specifically if special delivery in post office is possible or not, response was positive.

Thank you again for heads up mate.
