Ukrainian Nationals: Scheme Changes and Uncertainty Ahead

Ukrainian Nationals: Scheme Changes and Uncertainty Ahead

Wednesday 15th May 2024

❗ Recently, changes were announced to the Ukraine Family Scheme, the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme, and the Ukraine Extension Scheme.

⛔ The Ukraine Family Scheme is closed, while the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme now grants 18 months instead of 3 years, with stricter sponsorship criteria.

' However, children born in the UK to scheme parents can still benefit.

A new visa extension scheme offers 18 more months but falls short of the 5-year residency.

Uncertainty persists regarding long-term stays in the UK for Ukrainian nationals despite these changes.

🤔 Unsure about your next steps after the Schemes?
