Welcoming Ukrainian arrivals to Leicester
The Government is running two different visa schemes to allow Ukrainians who are fleeing the conflict to travel to the UK.
Homes for Ukraine is the scheme which allows people in the UK to sponsor Ukrainians to come here by providing accommodation themselves.
The Ukraine Family Scheme allows Ukrainian citizens who are already living in the UK to bring family members here to join them, or to extend their stay.
