UKVI Armed Forces Team COVID Lockdown Update

 

UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) has confirmed that with a second lockdown now underway its Armed Forces Team (AFT) will not be taking any new requests for exemption stamps to be inserted into passports of non-UK SP.

·The AFT’s office will, however, remain open during the lockdown period with limited staffing levels to try and clear the backlog of requests that were sent in during the previous lockdown and since the office reopened in July.

Units are advised that with immediate effect they should refrain from submitting new requests for passport exemption stamps until further notice. Regional Command is in contact with the UKVI and will advise units as to when this situation might change.

· Any SP with passports already submitted to UKVI are advised that the AFT will do its best to process all outstanding requests over the next few weeks.

· Any SP who require their passport for urgent official travel e.g. deployment, unit move or compassionate, and have submitted their passport to UKVI for endorsement should contact HQ RC Family Support via their RAO for guidance and assistance.

· SP who do not yet have their passport endorsed and are likely to undertake official travel in the near future can also contact HQ RC Family Support via their RAO for further guidance.

· Any SP with other travel plans that might be affected by the UKVI’s decision should contact their RAO or UWO in the first instance. Further guidance can be obtained from HQ RC Family Support. RC-Pers-FamSp-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk
