Is it possible to apply for a new UK visa, to start immediately after an existing one expires?
I am currently holding a 6 month visitor visa until the 6th of March and I have traveled three times (each trip for 4-5 days) to the UK in last 4 months to attend conferences.
However, I am planning my next travel from the 7th of March for 2 weeks and I need to re-apply for a new visa.
As there will be no gap between the last date of the old visa (6th of March) and the starting date of the new visa (7th of March), will this cause any problem for the new visa application?
