Since 2015, we have offered a safe and legal route to the UK to almost half a million people seeking safety, as well as family members of refugees. The safe and legal entry routes are country-specific and global:

  • Resettlement, including UNHCR schemes (UK Resettlement scheme, mandate scheme, and community sponsorship), as well as the Afghan Resettlement Programme
  • Family reunion visas
  • BN(O) Hong Kong visas
  • Ukraine Family, Sponsorship and Extension Scheme visas

However, preventing a humanitarian emergency must remain as our focus right now. We continue to work alongside our international partners to maintain the ceasefire and bring an end to fighting.
