The Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme (UPE) allows Ukrainians living in the UK under one of the Ukraine Schemes to extend their stay for an additional 18 months. The application is completely free. 


You can apply if:
– You already have permission to stay in the UK under one of the Ukraine Schemes
– You are currently in the UK at the time of applying
– You have lived in the UK (or Crown Dependencies such as Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man) since receiving your previous permission to stay 


If you came to the UK under one of the Ukraine Schemes (Homes for Ukraine, Ukraine Family Scheme, Ukraine Extension Scheme) and your visa is close to expiring, you may be eligible to apply for an extension under UPE. We can help you check your eligibility.


You can only apply when there are 28 days or fewer left on your current visa. Make sure to submit your application before your current permission expires. Don’t wait until the last minute — we can help you start early and avoid stress. 


To check the expiry date of your current permission, you can log into your UKVI account. If you're unsure how to do this, our team can help you check. 


 Yes! Our team includes Ukrainian and English-speaking staff who can explain everything clearly and support you in your own language.
