In response to the situation in Ukraine, the Home Office has announced visa concessions to support Ukrainians with valid visas in the UK as well as other measures to assist Ukrainian residents with migrating to the UK.

Ukrainians in the UK with an existing UK visa that will expire soon can have their visas temporarily extended based on the visa’s standard requirements or until 31st December 2022. These concessions are for Ukrainian nationals on a visitor visa, student visa, skilled worker visa, and those in the UK as Seasonal Workers and HGV drivers.

Currently, the visa application centre in Kyiv is closed but the Home Office has agreed to support non-British family members of British citizens who are in Ukraine to migrate to the UK for free and quickly.

The Home Secretary has also announced that a new humanitarian support pathway will be launched to help Ukrainian residents who don’t have family ties in the UK.

Ukrainian residents can still apply for UK visas from neighboring countries.

We are offering free legal advice to all Ukrainian nationals and residents looking to migrate to or extend their stay in the UK, not just those who fall within the concessions.
