Afghanistan: Resettlement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how family members are vetted under the Afghan Resettlement Programme.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Afghan Resettlement Programme, announced by the Defence Secretary on 18 December 2024, is not in itself an immigration scheme, but a single approach to improve efficiency in the end-to-end relocation and in-UK resettlement of those arriving on our Afghan schemes.
To obtain entry clearance to the UK under our Afghan schemes, individuals must successfully complete the required entry clearance processes, which includes meeting the relevant suitability requirements.
