Ukraine War: Priti Patel on virtual applications for refugees

Ukrainians with passports will no longer have to go to a visa application center to submit biometric data from Tuesday, the interior minister has announced.

Priti Patel said “vital security checks” will continue in all cases, but the digital applications mean people can get authorization online and then travel to the UK from anywhere. This means that visa application centers can “focus their efforts on Ukrainians without passports”.

There have been complaints from all political strata about the Interior Ministry’s response to requests from Ukrainians fleeing their country.
