Apply to stay in the UK under the Ukraine Extension Scheme

Guidance for Ukrainian nationals and their family members to apply to stay in the UK under the Ukraine Extension Scheme. 

Under the Ukraine Extension Scheme you will be able to live, work and study in the UK if you’re Ukrainian or the close family member of a Ukrainian.  You can apply for this scheme if one of the following is true:

  • you held permission to be in the UK on or between 18 March 2022 and 16 May 2023 – the permission does not need to cover the whole period
  • you previously held permission to be in the UK and that permission expired on or after 1 January 2022

You should consider whether you want to keep your current visa or switch to the Ukraine Extension Scheme.  This route does not currently lead to settlement – this means that you may not be able to count any time you spend in the UK with this visa as part of an application for indefinite leave to remain in the UK in future.

It is free to apply. 

If you need any assistance, contact UK Visas and Immigration.

Telephone: + 44 808 164 8810 – select option 1
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm
Calls are free of charge

Apply

You must apply online at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-to-stay-in-the-uk-under-the-ukraine-extension-scheme

You will then book and attend an appointment at a UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (UKVCAS) service point.
