I have a girlfriend in russia, we have met in person twice

Hello, my name is***** hope you are well today. I am a qualified Solicitor, and I will be able to help you by providing you with an answer to your question today. I specialise in UK and Irish Law. I am not always online but rest assured if I do not respond immediately I will respond when I return.

Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your question or anything else you would like to add before we continue?

In that case, yes, Your girlfriend may be able to extend her stay as long as the total time she spends in the UK is no more than 6 months. she must meet the eligibility requirements and pay the £1000 fee.

For example, if she has been in the UK for 3 months, she can apply to extend her stay for 3 more months. This applies if she needs a visa to visit the UK and also if she did not need one.

Is there anything else I can help with today?

You can extend your stay up to a total of 6 months. You can only apply to stay in the UK for longer than 6 months if you’re:

• a patient receiving medical treatment
• an academic and you still meet the eligibility requirements
• a graduate retaking the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test or doing a clinical attachment
