To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the criteria for granting indefinite leave to remain to the Afghan Chevening scholar cohort have changed since 2022.
This question was answered on 11th July 2023
Chevening awards were offered to Afghans resident in third countries for 2022-23.
The FCDO will provide a letter of consent to current scholars whose visas in other countries have expired or will expire, allowing them to apply for another UK visa, exempting them from the normal requirement to leave the UK on completion of study, given the situation in Afghanistan.
