Refugee advice

Ukraine and Afghanistan

Ukraine

The UK government has set up two schemes:

  • The Homes for Ukraine scheme allows Ukrainian nationals and their family members to come to the UK if they have a named sponsor.
  • The UK visa support for Ukrainian nationals allows applicants to join family members or extend their stay in the UK. This scheme does not involve payments to sponsors, and is run directly by the Home Office without involvement from Slough Borough Council. 

The council has a coordinating and supporting role for sponsors and people arriving from Ukraine, once they have been matched by the Government.

  • Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP) or
  • Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS)
