PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(10 March 2026)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to open new legal routes for Iranian nationals affected by the regional conflict.

Asked by:
Chris Philp (Conservative)

Answer

The Government has not introduced a bespoke visa route in response to the conflict. Existing visa routes remain available and Iranian nationals who wish to come to the UK can apply to do so via these routes.

Any application for a UK visa will be assessed against the requirements of the Immigration Rules.  We advise people to consider the most appropriate visa route for their own circumstances.
