Extension after Visa curtailment

Post by alsanober » Mon Jan 12, 2026 11:46 am

Hi Guys,

I hope everyone is doing Well. posting here after long long time.

i did try to search the forum for answer but i couldn't a relevent thread - i have not seen it anyway.

so here is my question, please. I know someone in our family came to UK on a spouse visa towards end of 2023 but his marriage broke down and got visa curtailment email in Oct last year. He was suppose to leave the country in Jan 2026 but he managed to extend his visa for 6 months. He had been working during his visa curtailment period because curtailment email said same working conditions of spouse visa applies.

My questions is how do one get such extension? what is it called? is he allowed to work during this extended period?

Thank you

Best Regards,

On what basis did he extend his visa? All visas have different conditions.

He's allowed to work until the last day of his spouse visa. And if he makes an on time application, conditions remain same until visa is issued or not.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

thats the thing, he has kept it secret and i was amazed when he told me his visa is extended. hence i posted the question.

regarding work he is still working so i am very confused.

thanks for replying

He could not have the spouse visa extended as the marriage no longer exists and the visa was already curtailed.

Perhaps he applied for another visa type.

That's not an extension, it's a new visa with different conditions.

You can't extend a visa that is no longer valid or when the requirements are no longer met.
