<p>The UK operates three resettlement programmes: Gateway, Mandate and the Syrian
Resettlement Scheme.</p><p>Only UNHCR registered Syrian nationals are eligible under
the Syrian Resettlement Scheme, which has been expanded to resettle 20,000 individuals
during this Parliament. We work closely with the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to identify cases that they deem in need of resettlement
according to agreed vulnerability criteria for the Syrian Resettlement Scheme.</p><p>Gateway
and Mandate are not nationality specific.</p><p>The Gateway Protection programme resettles
UNHCR recognised refugees from a small number of targeted locations.</p><p>The Mandate
resettlement programme resettles individuals from anywhere in the world who have been
recognised as refugees by UNHCR, and judged by them to be in need of resettlement;
and who have a close family member in the UK who is willing to accommodate them.</p>
