The Government keeps its approach on visas and biometrics under review, informed by the latest security advice.

We are aware of cases where individuals who could pose a national security threat have attempted to enter the UK during crisis situations and checks which are part of the visa process have enabled us to identify these individuals as potential threats. Similarly checks undertaken as part of the visa application process can help safeguard vulnerable applicants such as those aged under 18.

The Government therefore has no plans to waive visa requirements for Ukrainian nationals.
