The British Embassy in Ukraine has said that Ukrainian authorities informed the embassy that Ukrainians without permanent residency in the United Kingdom are banned from leaving the country.
“Ukrainian authorities have informed us that only Ukrainians with permanent residency in foreign countries will be able to leave Ukraine,” the embassy said in a message about the SkyUp flight to London scheduled for June 3, posted on its Facebook page on May 28.
The embassy said that “our informing the MFA of your intention to leave does not confirm the validity of your residence permit, nor your ability to enter the UK. The final decision to grant entry to the UK is always made by the UK Border Force at the port of arrival.”
Earlier, on May 7, the British Embassy in Ukraine announced about the same problem.
