Ukrainians who wish to come to the UK or regularise their stay in the UK either through the Ukraine Scheme or any other immigration route may require immigration advice. It is an offence to provide immigration advice if you are not accredited by the Office for Immigration Services Commissioner or are a solicitor regulated by the Law Society.

You can find an accredited immigration adviser in your local area by using the find an adviser tool on the government website.

There are also some organisations offering free immigration advice to Ukrainians.

Ukraine Advice Project UK run by DLA Piper is a group of immigration lawyers who are providing free UK legal advice to Ukrainian citizens affected by the current crisis. Some information is available on their website and is translated into Ukrainian and Russian. For advice contact: projectu@dlapiper.com
