I am a PhD student, and I will be finishing my course earlier than expected, what happens to my visa?

 

If you complete your course early, the university must inform the Home Office. The university can only sponsor students while they are registered and are actively studying in the UK. If you complete your course early, visa sponsorship will be withdrawn, and your visa will no longer be valid. The UKVI will notify you of your new visa end date and provide you with a date by which you will need to leave the UK or make a new visa application with the Home Office to change your purpose of stay in the UK.
