Folks with UK passports should speak more with immigrants to understand their experiences of the system! After my MPhil I had to return to my home country for a few years before I could do a PhD. After the PhD I got the work visa, but unsure if I’ll be able to renew it in this political climate!

It’s not an extension, it’s applying to a different visa and of course meeting the requirements for the new visa (and paying for it). In my case, after my MPhil I couldn’t secure a work sponsorship, but I did after my PhD. So I applied for a Skilled Worker Visa while still on a Student Visa.
