Extension of standard UK visitor visa
Upvote:4
You can apply to extend your stay however you can only do it from inside the UK and it rarely makes sense except in a true emergency or unexpected situation, not a foreseen situation like yours. The cost, increased probablility of inadvertently overstaying, long processing time, etc all combine to make it a poor choice.
In your case the best option is to apply for a new visa before entering the UK. Note that the immigration officer at the airport can turn you away if they realize your plan.
If you still want to continue down that path, see below:
Extend your visa
You may be able to extend your visa as long as the total time you spend in the UK is less than 6 months. For example if you apply for a 3 month visa, you can apply to extend it for 3 more months.
Read the guidance to find out if you can extend your visa.
You should apply before your current visa expires.
