When you can reapply
Your UK SORA-based Operational Authorisation lasts for 12 months.
You can reapply from 28 days before your authorisation expires.
You must reapply before the expiry date to preserve the anniversary of your authorisation and make sure there is no break in your authorisation.
Reapplication charges
There is a fixed charge for reapplications. The charge varies by SAIL level. You cannot make any changes to the scope of your UK SORA authorisation when you reapply. Any significant changes that require a new OA, will need a new UK SORA application.
