Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Ukrainian citizens have (a) applied for and (b) been refused a UK visa since the Russian invasion of that country.

The Home Office does not hold data on the number of Ukraine citizens who have applied for and been refused a UK visa since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. To do so would require a manual assessment of data and this would exceed the cost threshold

The Home Office publishes data on the number of Ukraine citizens who have applied for and been refused Entry Clearance under our Migration Statistics. However, the data for the first quarter of 2022 has yet to be quality assured and will be published in our next quarterly update

Further information can be found on the GOV.UK webpage: Migration statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The Home Office does publish regular data on the Ukraine Family Scheme, which can be found here: Ukraine Family Scheme: application data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
