Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether (a) consular services, (b) Visa Application Centres and (c) biometric submission capabilities are present (i) in-country (ii) regionally to process Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy applications.

There are no facilities in country in Afghanistan currently therefore individuals would need to travel to nearby countries, such as Pakistan or India, to apply.

The UK is working with international partners, including non-governmental organisations and other countries to secure safe routes out of Afghanistan as soon as they become available, starting with those in most need.

The Government is committed to doing all it can to support those most in need and those at risk who have had to flee Afghanistan.
