Closure of Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy from 3pm today

Eligible applicants who submitted their application before 15:00 BST on 1 July 2025 will still be able to make eligibility applications for their immediate family members and additional family members after this date.

No explanation is provided as to why it was necessary to close the scheme seemingly without any advance notice. The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme is also being formally closed, although it was not possible to apply under that anyway.
