Buckinghamshire is still top of the list for the most visas issued to Ukrainians fleeing the war - as more than 500 kind residents have now sponsored a visa. 

As of April 19, the latest data available from the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities shows that 507 visas have now been issued. 

The county was also top of the list when the last data was released up until April 6, which put the number at 151. 

The scheme allows Ukrainian nationals and their family members to come to the UK if they have a named sponsor.

Visas have been issued to local authorities based on the postcode of the sponsor’s address, or of the accommodation address if the applicant is not staying with the sponsor.

Not all records of visas have a postcode that has been mapped to a local authority area, but the number of records excluded is less than one per cent. 

The data is provisional and is likely to include some duplicate records, so may not be an exact record of the number of individuals who have been issued visas.

Bucks is the highest with 507, while Wiltshire is second with 402, followed by Cornwall (337), Wandsworth (311), Barnet (307), Edinburgh (287), Camden (282), Richmond-upon-Thames (282), Bromley (272) and Wealden (262) in the top 10.
