Reminder: Visit visas paused for issue in red list locations

Under the Traffic Light System rules, UK Visas and Immigration will continue to pause the issuing of Visit visas for travellers coming to England from red list countries.

If you apply for a Visit visa from a red list location and you meet the Immigration Rules, your application will be paused. You will not receive your Visit visa whilst red list travel restrictions remain in place.

Visas will continue to be issued in red list countries for work, study and settlement however they will be subject to quarantine requirements. You can apply for these visa routes in the usual way.

More information can be found on GOV.UK.

Separate guidance is available for travellers entering Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.


If your 30 day or 90 day visa to work, study or join family in the UK has expired, please consult the gov.uk website for more information.
