In the coming weeks due to the Coronavirus pandemic, huge numbers of people may be laid off, get their hours cut and may not have a way to pay their rent, mortgage or bills.
We would like the Home Office to allow automatic 3 years visa renewal to all ECAA applicants and allow them to be employed should they find it difficult to continue their businesses under the circumstances.
