Official source excerpt

Quoted verbatim from the official source below. Ellipses indicate omitted text.

… guidance for sponsors - GOV.UK When guests apply for a UPE visa, sponsors/hosts should reapply if they wish to continue to receive a monthly thank-you payment. Sponsors/hosts of those previously on Homes for Ukraine visas will be eligible for thank-you payments of £350 a month for the 18-month UPE visa. Thank you payments will not be payable if there is a close family relationship between sponsor/host and guest. Sponsors/hosts who are related to their guests will no longer be eligible for 'thank you' payments when their guest transfers to the UPE visa. This is in line with the changes made for new applications for thank you payments from 1 October 2024. Close family members refers to any of the following: spouse, civil or unmarried partners, parents, parents-in-law, sons or daughters, sons or daughters-in-law, step-sons or step-daughters, siblings, grandparents, or the spouses, civil or unmarried partners of these people.
