British visa validity
I am a Pakistan national. My UK visa is valid till 25 Feb 2015. I am traveling to UK on 18Feb 2015. Can I stay in UK after 25 Feb 2015 or 25 Feb 2015 is last date to stay in UK.
Best Answer
Being allowed to stay within the country after the expiry of the visa is extremely uncommon and probably the US are the only country that allows this (under certain circumstances and for certain visa types, such as student visa).
If your visa is valid until the 25th of February 2015, then this is the last day that you may be in the country, unless (1) you have another UK visa for after that day, or (2) your cleared passport control on an international airport at the 25th while your flight is (early) on the 26th. In both cases, there may be some non-trivial process that your would need to follow, though.
Note that when clearing immigration on the 18th, the immigration officer may want to see a proof of booked onward travel for leaving the country before or on the 25th. This is actually quite likely to happen if your enter the UK a few days before your visa expires. So you are strongly advised to be prepared for this case.

How long is a visa valid for?
Visa validity usually dictates how long you can use a visa to enter the destination country. There is usually a separate allowance for the length of time the holder can spend there. For example, the US ESTA is valid for 2 years, but each visit can last a maximum of 90 days.Can I extend my UK visa after 6 months?
You may be able to extend your stay as long as the total time you spend in the UK is no more than 6 months. You must meet the eligibility requirements and pay the \xa31000 fee.
