Refugees from Ukraine are increasingly seen with fake visas. After the forgeries were discovered, the documents were confiscated from the Ukrainian refugees, and then the refugees became illegal migrants.

In the UK, cases of Ukrainian refugees arriving in the country with fake visas have become more frequent, leading to problems for Ukrainians. The Independent reported this.

It was reported that the visas could not be identified as fraudulent at first glance, and airline employees allowed Ukrainians to travel, but border guards did not consider these documents valid.

After the forgeries were discovered, the documents were confiscated from the Ukrainian refugees, and then the refugees became illegal migrants. Border guards are increasingly issuing six-month visas to Ukrainians, but they remain without access to housing and benefits.

The UK Home Office says it is constantly working to prevent fraud.

The Settled organization called on the Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue clear instructions for Border Guard officers to issue temporary visa stamps to deceived Ukrainians.

The charity’s chief executive Opora Sten said scammers often tell refugees to enter the UK through Ireland because Ukrainians don’t always know that Ireland is not part of the UK.

“We are trying to explain that visas under the Ukraine Scheme are free and people must have a connection with a legal sponsor in the UK to apply,” he stressed.

The British Red Cross said it was aware of cases where the British, who were supposed to host Ukrainians, had paid them to travel to the country with a specific job offer, but later learned that the terms of employment are significantly different from those. agreed.

“We have also heard cases where additional living costs (utilities, food costs) associated with raising a family are used as a basis to force people to work in exploitative conditions,” added Red Cross.

Other charities have previously warned that owners of homes where Ukrainians live are overbilling, forcing people to work overtime.

It was previously reported that Finland will pay 5,300 euros to refugees who return home.
