Leaving the UK without a visa to be in UK but stuck in transit
My cousin is currently stuck in the UK as he was meant to be in the UK only for transit to continue to Bosnia.
The travel procedure was meant to be Bahamas -> London -> Bosnia. He has been put in a hotel here in London and he doesn't have a visa for the UK.
He was working and got stuck in the Bahamas. His flights were organised by his company to get him back to Bosnia. The flight from London to Bosnia was unfortunately cancelled. So he is waiting in a hotel until that is organised. He is a citizen of Bosnia as am I.
He has a right to be in France due to schengen. My question is would he be allowed to leave the country into France via car (euro tunnel/ferry) with myself a British citizen?
Best Answer
The passport stamp you posted indicates that he was admitted to the UK for landside transit on 29 May until 31 May.
He needs to either leave the UK by any means of transport on or before the end of the day 31 May, or if he is unable to do so, he can file for an extension to 31 July by filling out an online form that UKVI have made available for people stuck in the UK due to COVID-19.
I would recommend that he apply for the extension immediately, even if he thinks he might be able to leave the UK via some other method, as travel plans can and do change quickly these days.
