Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether a Ukrainian national on the Homes for Ukraine Scheme who has been issued a visa on the form for affixing a visa FAV can be issued with a permission to travel letter if they subsequently obtain a Ukrainian passport.

UKVI would not normally issue a visa on a Form for Affixing a Visa (FAV) to someone who has a passport or travel document valid for travel to the UK.

Yet to avoid delaying Ukraine Scheme applicants’ travel to the UK, it has been agreed UKVI not reissue the visa in the new passport and will allow them to travel with the visa still attached to a Form for Affixing a Visa (FAV), to be carried alongside their valid passport.

A Form for Affixing a Visa (FAV) with an expired visa is no longer valid for travel.
