Immigration: Ukraine

Asked by Neil Duncan-JordanLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 15 April 2026UIN 126123

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of clearer pathways to settlement for Ukrainians, in addition to working visas.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The Ukraine schemes are temporary humanitarian routes and do not provide a route to settlement. However, Ukrainians in the UK under any of the Ukraine Schemes may apply to switch into other immigration routes for which they meet the eligibility and suitability requirements, including work, study, family and private life routes.

The Government keeps the Ukraine schemes and the evolving situation in Ukraine under review and is actively considering the future position. I intend to make a further statement later this year to support Ukrainians in planning effectively for their futures.
