Over 35,000 individuals have been relocated to the UK through our Afghan schemes, which were specifically designed to support those who worked with the UK government, assisted in UK efforts in Afghanistan, or stood up for values such as democracy and human rights. These schemes closed on the 1 July 2025.

The Immigration White paper, published on 12 May 2025, announced new measures on a wide range of issues including refugee sponsorship and resettlement, further details of which will be set out in due course.
