2:28Now PlayingUkrainians who sought sanctuary in the UK after Russia's invasion will be granted an 18-month visa under a new extension scheme.
The first visas which granted people three years' leave in the UK under programmes such as Homes for Ukraine, the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Ukraine Extension Scheme are set to expire in March 2025.
But the Home Office has said individuals under one of the visa schemes will now be able to apply to stay until September 2026 and have the same rights to access work, benefits, healthcare, and education. But for some families, the question now is whether they will ever be able to go home.
