Afghanistan: Resettlement

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many of theĀ 13,958 principal applicants to the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy who were found ineligible have had their cases reviewed against revised eligibility criteria.

Answer

The ARAP eligibility criteria have not changed. As a result, no previously ineligible principal applicants have had cases reviewed against revised criteria.

Each ARAP scheme application is assessed individually against the eligibility criteria outlined under the Immigration Rules: Appendix ARAP. Further information on this can be found at the following link:
