Requirements for Switching Your Visa in the UK

To switch from one visa type to another, you must be physically present in the UK when applying and ensure your current visa remains valid. It is essential that immigration regulations allow the switch you intend to make, and that you meet all eligibility criteria for the new visa. Additionally, you must have fully complied with the conditions of your current visa and immigration rules, maintain a clean legal record in the UK, and not be on immigration bail or have Leave Outside the Rules (LOTR).
