<p>Although given consideration, it is not feasible to extend Ukraine scheme visas
automatically. Automatic extension would require Ukrainians to confirm their residence
in the UK and their willingness to have a visa extended, and so the possible customer
benefits, and savings in process time, would be limited. Without requiring a registration
process there would be a risk of not being able to contact all the eligible individuals
which could lead to some Ukrainians being left without legal status.</p><p>The Home
Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities have had numerous
discussions with the Ukrainian community, and there is currently an extensive programme
of stakeholder engagement in place.</p>
