The Home Office recently introduced several new visa concessions for Ukrainians. These concessions were introduced in the wake of the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
The new concessions make it easier for Ukrainian residents to bring their families to the UK. They also allow Ukrainians on a Skilled Worker Visa, Student Visa, Visitor Visa, Seasonal Worker Visa, or those employed as pork butchers and HGV drivers to seek extensions or switch from one visa to another with ease.
Other visa concessions also enable Ukrainian refugees to seek a visa roué to the UK.
If you are from Ukraine and want to benefit from these special visa concessions, our visa exemptions for Ukrainians solicitors can help you. With the guidance of the experienced immigration lawyers at the London-based Adam Bernard’s, you can explore your options and make the best choice.
The primary visa concession for Ukrainian refugees and others from Ukraine introduced by the Home Office applies to the family members and dependents of Ukrainians living in the UK. If you are a Ukrainian with British nationality or have been living in the UK, you can benefit from these concessions.
Under these concessions, your immediate family members can apply for a visa to the UK. Previously, the Home Office required the family members to meet a stringent set of requirements to be eligible for the visa. These included requirements pertaining to available financial resources and proficiency in the English language.
However, these requirements have been waived due to the situation in Ukraine. With this waiver, your family members can apply for a family migration visa without the need to pay any fee.
The family members who can apply for this concession include the following:
As a Ukrainian living in the UK, your above-mentioned family members can immediately apply for a visa to join you in the UK.
In addition to these concessions, the Home Office has also launched visa options that allow the extended family members of a Ukrainian in the UK to apply for a UK visa. These concessions are organised under the Ukraine Family Scheme. Ukrainian refugees can also benefit from certain concessions offered by the Home Office.
