Refugees: Visas
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether work and study visas for refugees will only be available to those refugees who are assessed as in need of protection.
- Answer
-
The Restoring Order and Control policy statement set out how the Government would transform its approach to safe and legal routes. Alongside the new community sponsorship route, the Government committed to the creation of capped routes for refugee and displaced students to study in the UK, and for skilled refugees and displaced people to come to the UK for work.
Work is underway to operationalise these new routes and further details will be provided in due course.
