Individuals granted refugee permission to stay (Group 1 refugees) or temporary permission to stay (Group 2 refugees) currently have full access to the labour market, as well as recourse to public funds.

Section 12 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 permits differentiation on the basis of access to public funds. All our policies are kept under review and may be subject to change in the future.
