The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will extend Ukrainian’s UK student visas.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

Those granted further permission to remain in the UK under the Ukraine Permission Extension scheme will receive the same rights and entitlements to access work, benefits, healthcare and education as provided under the existing Ukraine Schemes.

Individuals with permission under one of the Ukraine schemes have access to standard immigration routes to remain in the UK once their permission expires, in order to complete higher education courses they commence during their initial period of permission.

Individuals will have continued access to student support and home fee status where they can show they have been granted further leave to remain in the UK.
