Due to travel restrictions because of coronavirus, some individuals may be facing uncertainty in relation to the expiry date of their current visa in the United Kingdom.

We are taking steps to ensure foreign nationals will not be penalised as a result of coronavirus and related travel restrictions, outside of their control.

A coronavirus immigration mailbox CIH@homeoffice.gov.uk has been set up and there is a freephone number 0800 678 1767 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm) for those who wish to discuss their individual circumstances.
