Recently, the UK government announced a new visa policy: foreign nationals currently in the UK whose visas expire between January 24, 2020, and July 31, 2020, and who are unable to leave due to the pandemic or travel restrictions, can have their visas automatically extended to August 31!

During the grace period, visa records and personal credit will not be affected
It is worth noting that this is the fourth consecutive extension of visas by the UK Home Office for individuals whose visas are about to expire due to the pandemic since January 24, 2020! The first extension was to March 31, the second to May 31, the third to July 31, and the fourth to August 31!
Clearly, this is definitely good news! Given the current pandemic situation, international individuals stranded in the UK are not prepared to leave, and now they have an additional month of buffer time, which is more conducive to arranging their travel plans, effectively alleviating their urgent needs! At the same time, the UK government has stated that visa holders currently in the UK whose visas expire between January 24 and August 31, and who can prove that they are unable to leave the UK on time due to pandemic reasons, will not be deemed to be overstaying, and their subsequent visas will not be affected!
What should individuals whose visas expire after August do?
It should be pointed out that the policy currently extended to August 31 is a special treatment by the UK government under exceptional circumstances, providing international individuals with a "grace period" to leave the UK, and is not a true "extension" of the visa!
So, for those whose visas expire after August, what should they do if the subsequent extension policy is not continued?
Clearly, if the visa has already expired and one wishes to remain in the UK, it is essential to start submitting a new application promptly to resolve the issue of visa legalization, which is the best course of action!
Currently, the UK Representative of an Overseas Business Visa, which has a low investment cost and can be issued in as little as 5 working days, is a good option! This program is currently a high-quality pathway for quick immigration to the UK with a low threshold in the immigration market, with no specific investment amount requirement for applicants, and a high approval rate, allowing one application to enable the whole family to immigrate to the UK, making it quite popular among investors!
Meanwhile, investors can quickly obtain permanent residency in the UK through the Tier 1 Investor Visa, which is also one of the simpler and more straightforward immigration methods in the UK investment immigration projects, and is highly sought after!
For immigrant investors, the market is ever-changing, and identifying the best application timing is a good strategy. By taking advantage of the current favorable UK immigration policies, planning for an identity in advance provides more options for the future!
2020 is the year of health planning; health planning and identity come first! Choose the UK immigration project; for details, please consult the WorldWay Immigration Service Hotline: Mainland China: 400-138-2929 Hong Kong: (852)2802 8798
