Ukraine Family Scheme

The Ukraine Family Scheme allows applicants to join family members, or extend their stay, in the UK. Everyone must make a separate application, even children travelling with a family member.

It is free to apply and successful applicants will be able to:

• live, work and study in the UK
• access public funds

To apply you must:

• be applying to join or accompany their UK-based family member
• and be Ukrainian or the immediate family member of a Ukrainian national who is applying to the scheme
• and have been residing in Ukraine on, or immediately before, 1 January 2022 (including those who have now left Ukraine)

There is a 24/7 free helpline available to call on +44 808 164 8810 (or 0808 164 8810 if you're in the UK). 

If you cannot contact UK 0808 numbers, please use +44 (0)175 390 7510.

Or, you can visit the Guidance page on the GOV.UK website.
