We’re proud to share that Settled has been featured in two major publications—Reuters and The Independent—in a powerful piece highlighting the uncertainty faced by Ukrainians in the UK under current visa schemes.

Reuters: Stay or go? Ukrainian visa schemes in UK leave refugees in limbo
The Independent: Visa schemes in UK leave Ukraine’s war refugees in limbo

These articles explore the challenges many Ukrainians face as the 18-month Ukraine Permission Extension (UPE) period nears its end, with no clear path to settlement. The stories of individuals like Yuliia and ‘Maria’—who generously shared their experiences—bring to light the emotional and legal limbo that thousands are navigating.

At Settled, we believe in secure futures for all. We hope this coverage will raise awareness and encourage the UK government to reconsider current policies and provide more stable, long-term solutions for those displaced by war.

A heartfelt thank you to Yuliia (Settled’s L2 Immigration Advisor), ‘Maria’, and everyone who contributed to this important work.

We’ll continue to advocate for change—and keep you updated on developments.
