Announcement of the Home Office regarding issuing visas to Russian nationals
As was announced earlier by the Home Office Secretary Priti Patel on the situation in Ukraine, the UK government will bring forward amendments to visa penalty measures in the Nationality and Borders Bill, so that the Home Office can slow down and effectively stop the processing of UK visa applications submitted by nationals of Russia or any state that poses a threat to the national security or the interests of the UK allies across the world.
No more details are available as of now and we hope to receive more news on this matter in due course.
