Sponsors and Ukrainian guests

Central Bedfordshire stands with the people of Ukraine

For over 2 years, the conflict in Ukraine has affected countless lives and communities. This has been, and remains, a difficult time for the people of Ukraine, and we continue to stand with them in solidarity.

On 19 February 2024, the UK Government changed some of the rules for the Homes for Ukraine visa scheme. These changes included extending visas for existing guests by a further 18 months. Applications can be made during the last 3 months of an existing visa.

The Government also announced the closure of the Ukraine Family Scheme from the same date and the removal of guests' eligibility to become sponsors, even after they have remained in the UK for 6 months.

These pages provide advice for sponsors and Ukrainian guests on topics including the Homes for Ukraine scheme, financial support, education and training, and health advice. Our Homes for Ukraine Data Hub team is also available to offer support.
