Extending my Tier 5 or moving to another Visa?

Post by Turkish2016 » Wed Jun 08, 2016 11:11 am

Hi All,

I am a 22 year old girl from Turkey and I am currently in the UK on a Tier 5 Visa. My Traineeship has now finished and my Visa runs out in October. From anyones experience or knowledge, would I be able to extend my current Visa? I am currently looking for a new employer and would like an input as the best options to extend my Visa in the UK?

I would be grateful for any input.

Many thanks.

Are you her on a Government Exchange Programme? https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-government-au ... -your-visa

So the only part I need to get is a certificate of sponsorship reference number from a UK sponsor and I should be able to extend? Have you had much experience?

None at all. You asked if you could extend and I've posted the relevant information. Wait for others (if there any) to advise personal experience.
Have you read through 'eligibility'? https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-government-au ... ligibility
