Apply online on Gov.UK until 16 May 2024 to gain the possibility to live, work, study and claim public funds in the UK up to 3 more years

If you’re Ukrainian or the close family member of a Ukrainian living in the UK  you are eligible to apply if:

1. 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
2. You previously held permission to be in the UK and that permission expired on or after 1 January 2022.

You must be residing in the UK at the time to apply for the Ukraine Extension Scheme.

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.

For more information about the scheme and to apply, please, follow the link Ukraine Extension Scheme details and application
