UK announces new refugee routes from India and six other nations for 2027

UK minister Anna Turley said the new refugee routes aim to reduce illegal crossings of the English Channel.
The routes will open in India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Kenya, Malaysia, Pakistan and Uganda for refugees registered in these countries.
Applicants must be living outside their home country and clear identity, security and eligibility checks to qualify.
The first arrivals are expected in autumn 2027, with hundreds initially and numbers later rising to a few thousand.
