I dont think they will extend it and they will gave to reapply but talk to the Embassy. They should have still gone to UK now as flights still leaving for UK although I'm not sure if UK borders are open to non UK citizens

There is nobody trying to stop existing visa holders from travel The problem is tickets and the new fare structures. It may cost more.

Curious too. We are waiting for my wifesvisa to be approved. (Australia).
The processing times keep being extended. Although we submitted a bit later than planned, we were due to fly out on the 17th April. Wit and see how it all pans out I guess.
But no flights anyway..☺️☺️
