The Ukraine Extension Scheme is open to some Ukrainian nationals and their family members who have, or previously had, permission to be in the UK.
You can apply under the Ukraine Extension Scheme until it closes on 16 May 2024 if one of the following is true:
- you had permission to be in the UK on or between 18 March 2022 and 16 November 2023 – the permission does not need to cover the whole period; or
- you previously had permission to be in the UK and that permission expired on or after 1 January 2022
The Ukraine Extension Scheme will remain open after 16 May 2024 for children who are born in the UK. You can apply under the Ukraine Extension Scheme for your child born if they were in the UK after 18 March 2022 if one of the following is true:
- you have permission to be in the UK under one of the Ukraine Schemes (including the Ukraine Family Scheme)
- you qualify under the Ukraine Extension Scheme
This route does not require a UK-based sponsor.
