Visas: Ukraine

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his Department has considered introducing a 12-month visitor visa route for Ukrainian military personnel.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

There are currently no plans to introduce a 12-month visitor visa route for Ukrainian military personnel. All individual visitors have the option of applying for a visit visa for 6 months, or multi-entry visit visas of 2-, 5- or 10-years validity. Each stay in the UK must not exceed the permitted length of stay endorsed on the visit visa, usually 6 months.
