Explore Ukraine Visas
The UK offers visas aimed at allowing Ukrainian citizens to live and work in the UK for a limited period. The visa schemes were introduced in 2022, following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces in February that year.
In response to the conflict, many countries pledged their support to Ukraine and its people. Many of them, including the UK, sent aid to Ukraine as well as actioning plans to allow those fleeing the conflict to access to their safe borders.
Each of the visa schemes have specific requirements and depend on your own personal circumstances. You will find more information on each visa by following the links below but, should you have any questions, you can book a free consultation with us today.
Extension to Ukraine Visa – May 2023
In a recent update in May 2023, the UK Government announced that Ukrainians already in the UK with a visa will be able to extend their stay.

The application dates for this have now been extended. You are now eligible to apply for the Ukraine Extension Scheme if you have been granted permission to be in the UK between the dates of 16 May 2023 – 16 November 2023.
