However, we are looking at options for those Ukrainian applicants who have been unable to travel during this time period, including the possibility of issuing a replacement visa free of charge.</p><p>Furthermore, as part of the UK schemes which were launched in response to Russia invasion of Ukraine, we issue permission to travel letters to Ukrainian nationals with a valid passport.
