What's inside this pack

  • How to find the date that actually matters — the end of your permission to stay, not the date printed on an old BRP.
  • A realistic 6–9 month / 3–6 month / 28-day countdown plan, with the tasks that usually need to happen in each window.
  • A plain-English overview of Section 3C leave — when it protects you, when it doesn't, and the most common ways people accidentally lose it.
  • The documents most in-country applications expect (ID, address history, financial evidence, English language, biometrics) and how long each typically takes to obtain.
  • Switching routes from inside the UK vs applying from abroad — what the practical differences usually look like.
  • Fee and IHS cost overview so you can budget before you start.
  • A pre-application checklist you can work through before paying any Home Office fee or instructing an adviser.
