<p>The UK Government still operates visa routes for Russian citizens to come to the
UK for a variety of reasons, such as to work, study or join/visit family members.
Details about the routes, necessary criteria to satisfy, and how to apply are available
on GOV.UK at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fapply-uk-visa&data=05%7C01%7CMBGPQS%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C0e8654f583bb44f1755d08dad910ea7c%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638060963922753014%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WDnrbJRKVXC6T%2BeUPCPAFXgT582M%2FvQKiVd6t7cBxyY%3D&reserved=0"

powers in the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 to impose visa penalties on a country
where the government of that country: gives, or is likely to give, rise to a threat
to international peace and security; results, or is likely to result, in armed conflict;
or gives, or is likely to give, rise to a breach of international humanitarian law.</p><p>These
powers have not been used against Russia to date but they are kept under constant
review as part of the UK Government’s approach to the war in Ukraine.</p>
