More than 200 visas for Ukrainian refugees have been issued under the Homes for Ukraine scheme in Bristol.
The new 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.
More than 500 Ukrainian refugees are expected to come to the Bristol region, the local authorities said last week. 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.
