If you left the UK and have valid leave before 17 March 2020, & have been unable to return to the UK due to the travel restrictions and these relate to covid – 19, you should complete the online form. A UK/VI case worker will then assess your case to see if you are eligible under the covid concession scheme.
Your Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK (ILR) or Indefinite Leave to Enter the UK (ILE) will lapse if you have not returned to the UK for over 2 years. If your leave to remain expired after January 24 2020, and you have been unable to return due to covid -19 restrictions then you may be eligible to apply using the returning resident route visa route .

This maybe because for example they cannot return to their country of residence to submit an application.
If you are either on the 10 year route , or the 5 year route the visa is valid for 2.5 years . You would then need to apply for an extension of stay also known as FLR. If for example you are on the 5-year route you would be eligible to apply ( 1 time if on the 5-year route), however, if you are on the 10 -year route then you must extend a further 3 times before you are eligible to apply for permanent residence ( indefinite leave to remain).
If are currently on the 10 year partner route and your circumstances change for example ,you are now able to meet all the requirements of Appendix FM, then you can apply to switch to the 5 year visa route. You can in fact do this straight away ,and you do not have to wait until your current UK visa expires. But, anytime spent in the UK on the 10 -year route cannot be carried forward, therefore, it cannot be counted towards your qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. This means that, the clock resets and you must now complete the full 5 years on the 5 year route to be eligible for indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
If you need assistance with applying for an extension of stay at Thai Visa Express, we can offer you professional and up to date advice. You can call us on 07493269875 or, email us on: info@thaivisaexpress.com or alternatively contact us via our website.
