<p>Supporting the resettlement of individuals eligible under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement
Scheme (ACRS) remains a priority for HMG, and we are issuing new visas to people from
Afghanistan for settlement here. This means they immediately have the right to live,
work and study in the UK.</p><p>We recognise the difficult situation that many individuals
find themselves in. We continue to work, including with likeminded partners and countries
neighbouring Afghanistan on resettlement issues and to support safe passages for eligible
Afghans.</p><p>To date we have brought around 24,600 people affected by events in
Afghanistan to safety. This includes those evacuated under Operation Pitting and those
resettled and relocated under the ACRS and Afghans Relocations and Assistance Policy
(ARAP). The ACRS is one of the most ambitious resettlement schemes in our countries
history and provides those affected by events in Afghanistan with a safe and legal
route to the UK.</p>
