Home Office written question – answered on 24 February 2020.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance she is providing for Chinese nationals whose visas expire imminently and whose home provinces are affected by covid-19.
We are taking a proportionate approach to individuals who are unable to comply with their visas due to the coronavirus outbreak.
We have set up a dedicated helpline and are providing visa extensions for anyone whose immigration status has been affected. Full guidance has been published on the GOV.UK website and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-immigration-guidance-if-youre-unable-to-return-to-china-from-the-uk
No one will be unfairly penalised for events beyond their control.
