No because auto extensions are primarily intended for those who are trapped in UK due to being self isolated or aren't able to book the flight.kalven wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 3:00 pmMy parents from India applied for UK visitor visa granted from 14th April 2020 to 14 th October 2020. However based on current situation, there will not be any travel happening for some months. Keeping this covid 19 situation in mind, would the visa be automatically extended for them to travel next year? Or the affected months??
It is possible that there may be a process put in place later on for the visa to be reissued for a later period. But it is highly unlikely to be automatic. The Home Office does like a paper trail.
If you are going to contact the UKVI at all, I will suggest you wait till August. This is because the visa is still valid till Oct. There's no need contacting UKVI now until you are absolutely sure that the current Covid- 19 issue will affect the entire validity period of the visa. If the current travel bans and lockdown are lifted, say next month, then your parents can use the remaining period on the visa.kalven wrote: ↑Tue Apr 28, 2020 3:39 pmThank you for your response. I understand it would not be automatic. However, do you think I can try to extend via contacting UKBA? Any such situations that you are aware of ? Cause the application fee was not cheap anyway, do not want to spend the money in re-applying again .
