<p>In line with our existing policy on resettlement, those resettled under the Afghan
Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) may be able to be accompanied by their immediate
family members (their spouse or partner, and children under 18).</p><p>For those evacuated
from Afghanistan under the ACRS without their immediate family members, further information
will be made available in due course about options for reuniting with them.</p><p>Those
referred by UNHCR under the ACRS will have refugee status and will therefore be able
to access the refugee family reunion route. Those without refugee status wishing to
bring family members would need to apply through the regular family visa route under
Appendix FM of the Immigration rules.</p><p>The Government remains committed to providing
protection for vulnerable and at-risk people fleeing Afghanistan. However, the situation
is very complex and presents significant challenges, including how those who are eligible
for resettlement in the UK can leave the country. This includes eligible immediate
family members of those being resettled under the ACRS.</p>
