Ukraine Family Scheme Visa

Due to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, the Ukraine Family Scheme allows applicants to join their family members or extend their stay in the UK.

The Good news is that it is free to apply for Ukrainian Family Scheme.

You will be able to live, work and study in the UK and access public funds. The UK Home Office announced the Ukraine Family Visa Scheme and the Local Sponsorship Scheme for Ukraine on 1 March 2022, which will provide additional support for Ukrainian nationals and their family members.

Under the new visa Ukraine Family Scheme, people settled in the UK will now be able to bring their parents, grandparents, children over 18 and siblings, in addition to the most immediate relatives already eligible for UK visas.

Our highly experienced immigration solicitors based in Levenshulme, Manchester can provide free general immigration advice online via email, online chat, or an enquiry form. For detailed advice, please book an appointment with our expert immigration solicitor today.

Call us on 01612258181 to discuss your claim, or submit your details below and we’ll call you back at a time convenient for you.

What are the eligibility requirements for an Ukraine Family Scheme visa?

To apply to the Ukraine Family Scheme, you must:

  • be applying to join or accompany your UK-based family member; and
  • be Ukrainian or the immediate family member of a Ukrainian national who is applying to the scheme; and
  • have been residing in Ukraine on or immediately before 1 January 2022 (including those who have now left Ukraine)

You can apply if you’ve already arrived on a different visa in the UK and meet the requirements above.

If you’re a Ukrainian national who had permission to stay in the UK on or before 18 March 2022, you will be able to apply to the Ukraine Extension Scheme instead from 3 May 2022. Your partner and children can also apply if they’re already in the UK as your ‘dependants’.

If you previously had permission to stay in the UK but it has expired since 1 January 2022, you’ll also be eligible to apply.

You must also meet all the other eligibility requirements. Please contact us for initial assessment to determine your eligibility, and to discuss the options.
