Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support is being provided to severely disabled individuals applying to the Ukraine Family Scheme, who meet the eligibility requirements for the scheme, but cannot attend a visa application centre in person as a result of their disability and do not have a Ukrainian international passport which would enable them to apply online.

In the event an applicant does not have a Ukrainian passport and cannot attend a visa centre, then they should apply online and set out their circumstances which will then be taken into consideration. This will allow the case working team to make special arrangements or, should this not be possible, have discretion of issuing a waiver to the biometric requirement which will be granted on a case-by-case basis, based on the circumstances faced by the individual concerned.
