If all flights from the uk to Belarus have now been halted, then it looks that requesting exceptional assurance is a way forward.Jw9315 wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 8:02 pmThough it now looks like the travel restrictions are going to be lifted, due to issues with the country in question (Belarus) all flights from the uk have now been halted.
So we need to somehow get an extension on her visa, just for this year. Maybe for a month or so while we work out how they are going to fly home (eg through a neighbouring country)
Exceptional assurance doesn’t seem like the right thing to apply for here as it’s not coronavirus related any more:

If you’re in the UK
In your email you should attach evidence to show why you cannot leave the UK. For example, if you can’t leave the UK because you can’t find a flight before your leave/visa expires, you’ll need to submit a copy of a confirmed flight ticket.
I hear you re difficulty with travelling for an elderly person. Let's hope HO has the same attitude but mostly they would be very non-sympathetic re travel problems (meaning if an elderly parent could travel to the UK, he/she can still travel back even without direct flights. Btw, how old are we talking about?Jw9315 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 10:20 pmThanks, they are here on a 180 day per year 10 year visa. When you say it could affect future applications, could it affect the existing 10 year visa? Ie could it be revoked?
(Travelling via Russia makes this trip a lot more difficult for an elderly person travelling on their own)
If I follow the link, it brings me to Coronavirus part of Gov.uk. The problem with Belorussia lays within political tension and Ryanair situation rather than Covid restrictions.vinny wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 9:54 amIf you’re in the UK

Helpline is outsourced to external company and they are a lot of times not only not helping but also damaging with their answers. Thus forum saw a lot of people following the answer and then finding themselves in a lot of trouble. Same with lawyers, I’m afraid. Some of them are good, some confuse things and offer ill advice.Jw9315 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 6:25 pmThanks yes the person in question is in her mid sixties.
The link above does seem specific to COVID, so was wondering if there is an exceptional assurance equivalent for non COVID..
Is there a helpline to discuss things like this or do we need to involve lawyers?
