Green MSP Q Manivannan is allowed to continue living and working in the UK after being granted a new visa by the Home Office, according to multiple reports. Manivannan says the extension will let them stay for a further three years.
The coverage notes that Manivannan, who is 30 and originally from India, was elected to the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) in May. Outlets also include Manivannan’s personal description of their identity, citing their statement that they consider the UK home and do not plan to leave. One account describes the immigration matter as ongoing and frames it as a stay “for now,” reflecting that the extension is for a limited period rather than permanent status. The reports do not present a unified account of the underlying reasons for the earlier visa situation, but they agree on the outcome: the Home Office has extended permission to remain so Manivannan can continue their role.
