Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will automatically extend all visas due to expire during the covid-19 outbreak, including those of people unable to return to the UK due to travel restrictions.

The Home Office has put in place a range of measures to support those affected by the covid-19 outbreak. The latest information in respect of advice for visa holders can be found on GOV.UK at: www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-for-uk-visa-applicants-and-temporary-uk-residents.

This advice is kept under regular review as we recognise further adjustments are likely to be required to cater for all scenarios. We are working through these to ensure people are not unduly affected by circumstances beyond their control.
