What grace period means
Grace period: the time allowed after visa cancellation or expiry to exit or change status.
In practice, grace period appears in licence applications, bank forms and government portals, and misunderstanding it is one of the common reasons applications bounce back. GoldenKey explains the term in the context of your own file so you can sign documents with confidence.
