We are taking a pragmatic approach to visa extensions due to the coronavirus outbreak.

We continue to monitor the situation closely in all countries and are keeping this under constant review. Individuals who are following official advice will not be penalised as a result of issues arising from the covid-19 pandemic which are beyond their control.
