The scheme allows Ukrainian nationals and their family members to come to the UK if they have a named sponsor
The number of visas issued under the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme has been released
The data has been published by the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities.
The scheme allows Ukrainian nationals and their family members to come to the UK if they have a named sponsor.
Visas have been issued to local authorities based on the postcode of the sponsor's address, or of the accommodation address if the applicant is not staying with the sponsor.
Not all records of visas have a postcode that has been mapped to a local authority area, but the number of records excluded is less than 1%.
The data is provisional and is likely to include some duplicate records, so may not be an exact record of the number of individuals who have been issued visas.
The data does not contain the number of visas issued through the Ukraine Family Scheme, which allows applicants to join family members or extend their stay in the UK.
The number of visas issued per local authority area as of April 6th
East Riding of Yorkshire 42
Hull 33
North Lincolnshire 14
