Depending on what visa or immigration status you have been given to enter the UK, you may need to access immigration advice from a qualified immigration adviser about extending this or making a different kind of application in future.

Legal aid can help meet the costs of legal advice and representation but is only available for certain types of applications and for people who cannot afford to pay for a solicitor privately.

You can search for a solicitor in the UK on https://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/ by selecting “Legal Issue & Changing Countries” and entering your postcode, town, or city. Visit https://www.lawsocni.org/ to search for solicitors in Northern Ireland.

Find a legal representative regulated by the UK’s Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) use the ‘Find an Immigration Advisor’ search function https://www.gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser. You can also email ukraine@freemovement.org.uk explaining your situation and requesting free immigration advice.
