<p>The Ukraine Extension Scheme (UES) enables Ukrainian nationals already in the UK
with permission to enter, or stay, to be eligible to continue their stay in the UK.
To qualify for the UES an applicant must either hold permission to be in the UK on
or between 18 March 2022 and 16 November 2023, or have previously held permission
to be in the UK which expired on or after 1 January 2022. Those who have been granted
permission by 16 November will have until 16 May 2024 to submit an application under
the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office routinely keeps application processes under
review to ensure a positive user experience, optimal efficiency, and a robust application
of the Immigration Rules.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office continues to work closely
with our European counterparts, including the Ukrainian Government, and keeps the
future of our schemes and any future need for extension to the existing 36 months’
leave under review, in line with developments of the situation in Ukraine.</p><p>
</p><p>We are also mindful that permission will start to expire, for the first arrivals
under our Ukrainian schemes, from March 2025, and their need for certainty beyond
that point to help them to plan ahead.</p>
