answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2023 answer text <p>The Taliban control the issuing of Afghan passports. We know that obtaining new Afghan passports can be difficult, although we also know that some Afghan citizens have succeeded in doing so. The Taliban, as well as the countries surrounding Afghanistan, require valid documents for travel and those who attempt to travel without them may be putting themselves at risk. We strongly discourage anyone from crossing illegally into another country and doing so will make it more difficult for us to take forward relocation to the UK.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 10/02/2023 14:25:27 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
