Extending Your stay In The UK, as a student
We have prepared a detailed guide for SOAS students on extending your stay in the UK as a student. Please download and print it from the right hand side of this page.
You will also need to download and print the Tier 4 (G) application form, the Help Text and the Photo Guidance from the UK Border Agency website. You may also need to consult the Tier 4 Policy Guidance.

- Checklist before you start
- Are you switching to student from a different status?
- Is the end date of your current visa wrong and simply needs correcting?
- Can SOAS definitely sponsor you for an extension under Tier 4?
- Returning to the UK as a Visitor to take exams and/or submit work
- Has your visa already expired?
