This visa route is specifically applicable to Turkish workers. If you already have permission to stay in the UK as a Turkish Worker, you can apply to extend your visa.
In order to apply for this visa extension, you must meet the eligibility requirements as follows:
- You must already be in the UK.
- You must have a valid Turkish Worker visa.
- You must show you have not broken any Immigration laws.
The length of time you can apply to extend your visa for depends on how long you have legally worked in the UK.
If you have worked in the UK for between 3-4 years, then the duration you can extend for is up to 1 year. In this time, you can change your employer, but you must work in the same occupation. If you have worked in the UK for 4+ years, then the duration you can extend for is up to 3 years. In this time, you can work in any occupation for any employer.
Once you have applied, proven your identity and provided you documents, you will usually get a decision on your visa extension within 6 months.
After 5 years in this visa category, you may be able to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK.
