Since 1 April 2023, a total of 372 Principal applicants have been found eligible for relocation under the ARAP scheme.

I should note that the ARAP scheme is an application-based scheme offering support and assistance to those who worked for or alongside the UK in Afghanistan. It is not intended as a relocation scheme for refugees.
