Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to enable Ukrainian individuals currently living legally in the UK under temporary visas to convert these visas into a permanent right to stay, either as a bespoke scheme or through any other provision.

We recognise the Ukrainian government’s desire for the future return of its citizens to Ukraine. It is important our approach respects these wishes.

This is why the temporary Ukraine Schemes do not lead to settlement in the UK. Similarly, time spent in the UK with permission granted under the Ukraine Schemes cannot be relied upon towards the continuous qualifying period for the purposes of a Long Residence application.

There are other routes available for those who wish to settle in the UK permanently, if they meet the requirements.
