Changes to the Ukraine Extension Scheme

The Ukraine Extension Scheme enables Ukrainian nationals who held permission to enter or stay in the UK on 18 March 2022 (or who held permission which expired on or after 1 January 2022) to continue their stay in the UK.

From 9 November 2022, the immigration rules for the Ukraine Extension Scheme are updated to:

1. Extend the timeframe for applications within the rules. Applications can be made by people with limited leave up to 16 May 2023.
2. Create a deadline of 16 November 2023 which would be the end date for the scheme.
