Ukrainian refugees turned away from UK centre in Poland that can only handle 100 a day

Ukrainian refugees were being turned away from a new Home Office processing centre in Poland yesterday after being told staff can only process 100 people a day.

The pop-up facility was set up in a grey office block in Rzeszow, two hours drive from Krakow, last week to deal with British visa applications from Ukrainians fleeing war in their homeland.

It reopened at 8am yesterday morning, but by 10.35am staff were telling frustrated customers only the first 100 on what was already a list of 171, would be dealt with on the day and everyone else should try again tomorrow.
