I haven't dug especially deep on this, but I thought what was actually happening here is that visas are no longer being processed in kyiv or further east (due to consulate staff have been evacuated). However they are still being processed in e.g lviv (or in, say, poland).
- chris_overseas 5y agoI think you're right. Looking at the Home Office website it appears that they have clarified the wording compared to what was quoted in the Independent article. The quoted text in the article was: > "Ukrainian nationals in Ukraine (who aren’t immediate family members of British nationals normally living in Ukraine, or where the British national is living in the UK), are currently unable to make visa applications to visit, work, study or join family in the UK.” The Home Office site[0] now says: > "Ukrainian nationals in Ukraine (who aren’t immediate family members of British nationals normally living in Ukraine, or where the British national is living in the UK), are currently unable to make visa applications to visit, work, study or join family in the UK through a VAC in Ukraine. If you are able to safely travel, you can apply through a VAC in one of the nearby countries." Which of course is in line with the reality of the consulate being closed in Kyiv.
