The government is enormously grateful for the work of our embassy staff, who have supported UK efforts in Ukraine in the most difficult of circumstances.

Staff who work in the British Embassy in Ukraine, and other in-country staff, and their family members are able to apply to travel to the UK for an initial period of three years, with the right to work and access benefits. If they hold a valid International Ukrainian passport they will not need to attend a Visa Application Centre.
