Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to start a visa scheme, similar to that introduced for Ukrainians in 2022, for the people from Turkey and Syria who are homeless following the earthquakes in those countries.

The Government has no plans to implement specific schemes for those impacted by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, existing visa routes for those wishing to come to the UK are available.

The UK continues to provide lifesaving and emergency support, coordinating closely with the Turkish government and United Nations in Syria to ensure our support meets the needs on the ground and that we can stay responsive to emerging needs.
