UK The UK’s Resettlement Programme • A refugee must be submitted for resettlement by UNHCR. Legal Basis & Background The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act (2002) provides the general framework for asylum and refugee status eligibility. The UK’s resettlement programme is referred to as the Gateway Protection Programme (GPP), and the programme and legal framework for international collaboration and funding for resettlement are discussed in Section 59 of this Act. Although the GPP is the primary focus of this chapter, it should be noted that resettlement is also organised under the separate Mandate Refugee Scheme (MRS), under which UNHCR refers to the Home Office an unspecified number of refugees in need of resettlement who have connections to the UK through family or historical links. Mandate refugees do not benefit from the GPP integration programme but do receive the same benefits as other refugees in the UK. 78 Resettlement Criteria Basic criteria • A refugee must be recognised as such according to the 1951 Refugee Convention. 78 For further information on the Mandate Refugee Scheme, refer to: http://www.ukba.homeoffice. gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/ asylumpolicyinstructions/apis/manadaterefugees. <strong>pdf</strong>?view=Binary Criteria related to integration None Identification and Selection Submissions for resettlement are made exclusively by UNHCR. A number of selection missions are carried out by the Home Office every year. The UK began considering refugees referred for resettlement on a dossier basis from 2011-12, when 150 Bhutanese refugees from Nepal were accepted. All resettlement decisions are made by the Home Office Refugee Team. Processing time from submissions to final decision can vary, but the overall aim is for refugees to arrive in the UK within 6 months of a selection mission. Refugee Status, Permanent Residency & Citizenship Refugees resettled to the UK are granted refugee status with indefinite leave to remain, unlike other refugees who are granted refugee status with 5 years limited leave. After 5 years residency, resettled refugees may apply for UK citizenship. All applicants for citizenship must meet the 'knowledge of language and life in the UK' requirement.
