The number of eligible principles under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy with whom we have lost contact is currently 74. Of these 41 are, to the best of our knowledge, in Afghanistan.

Applicants may fall out of contact with us for a variety of reasons: they may have changed their contact details and not informed us or have decided to relocate elsewhere. We continue to use a range of means to re-establish contact with these applicants in order to continue their relocation to the UK, should they wish to proceed.
