Â鶹ԼÅÄ

The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Office has given a one-year free visa extension for some staff in the NHS and care sectors. But health workers, such as cleaners are porters are not eligible.

The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Office's visa extension list was initially limited to NHS doctors, nurses and paramedics, but in April it was extended to include more NHS staff, such as radiographers and social workers, plus some social care staff.

But the list does not include jobs such as porters and cleaners.

For those eligible, the extension covers visas which expire between 31 March and 1 October 2020. The scheme has been extended to about 3,000 key frontline health workers, the government said.
