许多签证即将到期或者已经到期的留英访客,都面临着因为旅行限制或者冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 相关的自我隔离,无法回国的状况。
好消息是,英国签证和移民局 (UKVI) 已经在GOV.UK上发布了临时居住指南,确认这些访客不会因为旅行限制或者自我隔离规定而受到处罚,并承若因冠状病毒引起的旅行限制或自我隔离者的签证将延续至2020年5月31日。
但请特别注意,此次不是自动延期。受影响的签证持有者需要主动联系移民局的冠状病毒特别小组进行报备并经过移民局确认后获得签证的延期。
同样,许多持有英国长期签证,由于旅行限制或者自我隔离等规定滞留在英国境外无法返回英国生活的签证持有人,将有可能面临无法满足留英居留条件的问题。移民局对这一点尚未澄清所以请继续留意移民局的官方指南或者联系我们的移民部获去最新信息。
