Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent estimate she has made of the number of students applying for visa extensions in response to the duration of their courses being extended as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.
Home Office Migration Statistics do not capture the number of estimated student visa extension applications submitted in response to the covid-19 outbreak.
The Home Office does though publish data on the number of student visa extension applications submitted and how many of these have been granted. The data shows the year on year comparison. These can be found in our published statistics: Extensions tables
