Highly Skilled Migrant Programme
How can I extend my stay as a highly skilled migrant?
This section explains how you can extend your stay if you are already in the United Kingdom under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP).
If you are in the United Kingdom under the HSMP you should switch to highly skilled worker (Tier 1 General) under the points-based system before your current period of leave (permission to stay) expires.
If you are currently here under a different immigration category, you cannot extend your stay by switching into the HSMP category. You should apply as a highly skilled worker (Tier 1 General) under the points-based system.
