Time Extension for Biometrics Overseas

Persons who are not covered under the policy for essential workers and whose nearest biometrics collection site remains closed will have their time limit to give biometrics extended until the biometrics collection site nearest them reopens. This extension applies notwithstanding any deadline stated in the biometric instruction letter.
