answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2022 answer text <p>The Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) offers relocation to eligible Afghan citizens who worked for, or with, a UK government department in Afghanistan - in exposed, meaningful or enabling roles and assessed to be at serious risk as a result of their work. This scheme remains open, and it is free to apply to. Those who are eligible for relocation under the ARAP can relocate with dependent family members.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence refers eligible Afghan citizens and their family members to the Home Office for permission to enter the UK subject to the enrolment of biometrics and security checks.</p><p>There is no option to enrol biometrics in Afghanistan. We are working with the authorities in neighbouring countries and with international partners to ensure biometric enrolment can be carried out in as rapid and efficient a manner as possible.</p><p>The UK is working with international partners, including non-governmental organisations and other countries, to secure safe routes out of Afghanistan as soon as they become available, starting with those in most need. We also intend to establish a diplomatic presence in Afghanistan as soon as the security and political situation allows. We are coordinating this effort with allies.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 08/07/2022 09:47:14 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
