Update on the Homes for Ukraine Scheme

Published: 09/06/2022

Following the people of Wales’ incredibly positive response to the Welsh Government’s Super Sponsor scheme, which has resulted in over 2000 visas being issued to date, Ministers have announced a temporary operational pause on new applications during June.  

The temporary pause is to ensure people who are arriving, and those already here in Wales, continue to receive an excellent level of care and support.

• 5,668 confirmed applications have been submitted with a sponsor in Wales, of which 2,866 have Welsh Government as a super sponsor.
• 4,909 visas have been issued to those with a sponsor in Wales, of which 2,453 have Welsh Government as a super sponsor.
• 1,961 people with sponsors in Wales have arrived in the UK, of which 480 have Welsh Government as a super sponsor.
