Home Office bureaucracy is depriving our economy of highly skilled workers, write Nick Greenberg, Shubham Agarwal, Vathuthita Techataratip, Jun Hatakeyama and Kate Halsted
Under the Homes for Ukraine visa scheme, we have seen many thousands of Britons put their hands up to host Ukrainians fleeing the carnage in their homeland. However, the process to apply has been described by the Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, as being “unnecessary, long, [and] bureaucratic”.
The government should realise that there’s more to be gained than the warm fuzzy feeling of a global do-gooder if we prioritise the expedient assistance of as many Ukrainians as possible, as soon as possible.
