Afghanistan: Resettlement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how Afghans who worked for British forces during Operation Herrick can apply for resettlement in the UK.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme is designed specifically for those who worked for or with the UK Government in Afghanistan in exposed or meaningful roles, such as in support of wider UK national security objectives. While Afghans who worked for British Forces during Operation Herrick can apply, all applications across the scheme are assessed individually, against the eligibility criteria using a case-by-case approach which takes into account the evidence available.
ARAP forms part of the cross-Government Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP).
