Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support is available for Myanmar nationals who are resident in the UK and whose visas are expiring and who are unable to return to Myanmar due to the ongoing conflict in that country.

People from Myanmar will be able to make an application to extend their stay in the UK where they are on a route which allows for extension, subject to continuing to meet the relevant criteria for the route and paying any associated fees.

The Home Office does not have plans to create a visa specifically for Myanmar nationals currently living in the UK.

Those whose leave is expiring and cannot be extended can, where they have a genuine and well-founded fear of persecution if returned to Myanmar, make a claim for asylum.
