Changes to Sponsor ‘Thank you’ payments

In line with policy set out by MHCLG, starting from 1 April 2025, thank you payments will be set at a flat rate of £350 per month.

If you are currently receiving £500 per month, please note that your payments will be adjusted to £350 per month.
If you were expecting an increase from £350 to £500 per month, this increase will no longer take place, and payments will remain at the £350 per month rate.
If you continue to host, these payments will continue at the £350 per month rate for the 18-month period covered by the Ukraine Permission Extension (UPE) visa. After this 18-month period, thank you payments will no longer be available.
