On 9 October 2025, there were circa. 4,200 applicants and their family members who had received notification of eligibility under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme and were awaiting relocation to the UK.

The figure is an estimate, as complete family details are not available yet for all eligible applicants. Additionally, officials are still processing cases and so the figure is subject to change as further eligibility decisions are granted.
