Iran: Foreign Nationals

Asked by Mr Will ForsterLiberal DemocratHome OfficeTabled Answered 14 April 2026UIN 124405

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance the department has provided to people trapped in the UK, who are visiting from Iran.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The Home Office continues to monitor the situation in Iran and its impacts. We recognise the disruption to travel routes through the Middle East and the impact on people whose onward travel has been delayed.

Those already living in the UK who have permission to stay should continue to follow their immigration conditions. For those whose permission to stay is due to expire, there are a variety of existing routes under the Immigration Rules to allow a person to extend or vary their permission in the UK. Guidance on varying permission to stay can be found on the GOV.UK website: Vary your immigration application - GOV.UK.
