Closed Extend visas for 3 more years for business applications under the Turkish ECAA.

Closed on

After completing one year of self-employment
Turkish applicants must normally be granted 3 years’
visa if the provisions are met -
where the ongoing success of the business is
still to be proven. With Coronavirus pandemic, it would be difficult to continue a successful businesses.

In the coming weeks due to the Coronavirus pandemic, huge numbers of people may be laid off, get their hours cut and may not have a way to pay their rent, mortgage or bills.
We would like the Home Office to allow automatic 3 years visa renewal to all ECAA applicants and allow them to be employed should they find it difficult to continue their businesses under the circumstances.
