<p>Since Operation Pitting the UK has supported over 4,600 people to leave Afghanistan.
As part of a cross-government effort, the FCDO remains committed to the resettlement
of eligible Afghan citizens in the UK through the Afghan Relocations and Assistance
Policy (ARAP) and Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) schemes. The FCDO's share
of that effort, which is under constant review, currently involves 30 staff in the
UK and our network of Posts in the region, as well as support to eligible Afghan citizens
in third countries while they undergo checks before being issued UK visas. The funding
for this financial year will depend on the rate at which eligible Afghans are able
to leave Afghanistan, which is difficult to predict. Our efforts continue while eligible
Afghans require support to travel to the UK.</p>
