1. Review the rules for your next extension

2–3 hourshigh Priority

Each extension has its own rules about income, documents and timing. Knowing these in advance helps you avoid last minute surprises.

What to do: Read simple guides such as WithRowan and then the official GOV.UK pages for your visa route. Note the key points: when you can apply, what income or support you need and which documents they check.

What do you need: You need your current visa details, your expected income and access to both plain language guides and official rules.

Outcomes: You will understand the main conditions for your next extension and can plan your work and documents around them.

Lifehack: Highlight or copy the important parts into your own document so you can review them quickly later.
