Immigration Support for Iranians in UK During the Conflict in Iran

Visa & Immigration Support for Iranians in the UK During the Conflict in Iran

The ongoing political and humanitarian crisis in Iran and the Persian Gulf has left many Iranian nationals currently in the UK concerned about their future. With flight cancellations and no way of travelling back to Iran, returning back home has become impossible for many families, students, workers, and visitors.

At Mansouri & Son Solicitors, we understand the urgency and complexity of your situation. Our highly experienced immigration team is here to support you and help you explore your options for staying in the UK legally and safely.

If you’re an Iranian citizen currently in the UK on one of the following visas, we can help you extend your stay legally:

  • Visitor visa

  • Student visa

  • Skilled Worker or Work visa

  • Medical visa

  • Other temporary UK visas

Depending on your current visa and personal circumstances, there are various options available. These include the following:

1. Extend Your Current Visa

Many visas allow extensions if applied for before expiry. In these uncertain times it may even be possible to extend limited stay visas, such as visitors. We can help you navigate the requirements and submit your application correctly and urgently.

2. Switch to a Different Visa

If you meet eligibility criteria, you may be able to switch to a different visa category from within the UK.

3. Apply for Humanitarian Protection or Discretionary Leave

If returning to Iran would put you at risk of harm, you may qualify for leave to remain under humanitarian grounds. This includes risk of persecution, political suppression, detention, or violence.

4. Asylum

If you fear persecution in Iran due to your political views, religion, sexuality, or membership of a particular minority group, you might be eligible for asylum in the UK.
