London (HRNW) The British authorities rejected former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s request for an extension in his visit visa Thursday.
The PML-N leader’s six-month visit visa had expired, after which he had put in a request with the UK Home Office to grant him an extension on medical grounds.
The request was, however, denied by the immigration department.
Legally, Nawaz has two options now. He can either go to the British court or contact the Pakistan government for travel documents.
According to PML-N spokesperson Maryam Aurangzeb, Nawaz’s lawyers have filed an appeal in the British immigration tribunal. The PML-N leader can lawfully stay in the UK until the tribunal gives a decision on the appeal, she added.
Nawaz travelled to the UK in November 2019 for medical treatment.
