Enable Ukrainian children without passports to enter UK without attending a VAC

Petition Details

Any Ukrainians without passports need to attend a Visa Application Centre appointment before arriving in the UK. Scrap the need for children to do this if their parent holds a passport.

Children are not a security risk. Biometrics could easily be taken after arrival in the UK.

Additional Information

The current requirement involves a significant extra journey for many families, the need to find accommodation near the VAC, extra uncertainty, and an additional step in the lengthy and complicated application process.

The UK is creating an unnecessary extra hurdle for traumatised and vulnerable families who could be welcomed more quickly and simply under the 'Homes for Ukraine' scheme.
