<p>The Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme, for Afghan nationals with
a qualifying connection to UK Defence, continues to facilitate the relocation of eligible
Afghans to the UK. The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme, operated by the Foreign,
Commonwealth and Development Office, has committed to take around 5,000 refugees in
the first year and 20,000 over the coming years.</p><p>We continue to work alongside
international partners to relocate British Nationals and eligible Afghans through
third countries. We also provide as much information as we can through Foreign Commonwealth
and Development Office Travel Advice. We have relocated over 8,000 Afghan Relocations
and Assistance Policy principals and their dependants since the scheme has been open.</p><p>Further
information on Her Majesty's Government's efforts to support the relocation of British
nationals, and vulnerable Afghans without a connection to UK Defence, should be directed
to Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office and the Home Office.</p>
