Nearing the end of the grace period—how can I extend my visa without a new job?
Hello,
I am a British citizen, and I've lost my job.
After the one-month grace period, how can I reapply for a new visa or extension if I haven't found a new role yet?

Dear questioner,
If you are currently in your grace period, you have the option to apply for a visa through your relatives.
If you don't have any relatives, we will need to assess your status to determine eligibility for a visit visa.
Kindly note that only after obtaining the visit visa can you extend it, in case you cannot secure a permanent visa by the end of the visit period.
