Ukraine Visa Schemes
Due to a high volume of enquiries, our Ukraine Advice Team may take slightly longer to respond. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Our Ukraine Advice Service has been operating since March 2022. It is led by immigration solicitors and accredited advisers, supported by Ukrainian-speaking volunteers and the wider Settled team. Our expertise allows us to assist with the most complex immigration matters and provide reliable guidance to our service users.
For free accredited immigration advice in Ukrainian or English, please email [email protected] or use our referral form: https://settled.org.uk/selfrefer/
You can also follow our Ukrainian-language Facebook group for updates and general information here.

April 2025 update – UPE Section 3C Leave
If you have submitted your application for the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme (UPE) on time, your existing rights in the UK will be automatically extended under Section 3C leave of the UK immigration law while you await a decision on your application. This means you can continue to live, work, study, and access public funds in the UK while your application is being processed. For more information please click here.
Якщо ви своєчасно подали заявку на подовження дозволу на перебування в Сполученому Королівстві (UPE), ваші наявні права у Сполученому Королівстві будуть автоматично подовжені відповідно до Розділу 3C Leave імміграційного законодавства Сполученого Королівства, на час очікування рішення за вашою заявкою. Це означає,
що ви можете і надалі проживати, працювати, навчатися та мати доступ до соціальних виплат у Сполученому Королівстві, поки ваша заявка перебуває на розгляді. Для отримання додаткової інформації, натисніть тут.

Thank You! Thank You for being in this world!Katya - Ukrainian service beneficiary, November 2022
An advisor of Settled Ukraine Advice took care of all the hassle with a visa application. She helped me to resolve this issue quickly, completely free of charge... I am very grateful to have discovered this wonderful service, when it was very much needed.
