EEA Residence Permit for Ukrainians to stay in the UK
What is an EEA Residence Permit?
The EEA Residence permit allows Ukrainian citizens, who are married to EU citizens (or a child or grandchild under 21 years old or dependant parent or grandparent) to live and remain in the UK after their 6 month EEA family permit visa expires.
If you are Ukrainian in the UK with a EEA family permit visa you must apply for an EEA Residence Permit to legally remain in the UK before your EEA family permit expires.
EEA family permits are given for 6 months so we encourage all Ukrainian citizens with a family permit to apply as soon as possible after the arrive in the UK for a EEA residence permit.
After you have received the Residence Permit you will be allowed to live, work and travel in the UK for an additional 5 years.

- show employers you’re allowed to work in the UK
- help prove you qualify for certain benefits and services
