Temporary visa concessions for Ukrainians

February 2022.

Due to current ongoing war in Ukraine, the UK Government introduced some measures to support family members of British citizens in Ukraine and Ukrainians in Ukraine and the UK.

Main points are the followings:

Non British family members of British citizens in Ukraine can apply for a family member visa free of charge and can apply either at the Lemberg Business Centre in Lviv or at UK Visa Centres in neighbouring countries such as Poland, Romania, Moldova and Hungary;

Ukrainians on a visitor visa in the UK can switch into (temporary concession) a points based route or a family visa route or another eligible visa type in the UK.
