Closed Extend family visitor visa for immediate elderly and vulnerable family members.

Closed on

Family visitor visa for immediate family members of British citizens to be extended for 3-6 months so that they can be shielded against the coronavirus disease in these unprecedented climate on humanitarian grounds.

Many immediate family members are unable to leave UK safely due to closed international borders. The repatriation flights being operated are not observing social distancing and pose health risk to the family members especially elderly and vulnerable and could be shielded if visa is extended.
