Key Takeaways: What Are the Proposed Asylum System Reforms?
Reforms include temporary refugee status with reviews every 30 months and a new work and study visa route to encourage integration, officials said.
- On Tuesday, UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood unveiled sweeping changes to Britain’s asylum system, modelled on Denmark to sharply reduce protections and restrict routes into the United Kingdom.
- Record numbers show rising asylum claims, nearly 111,000 applications and more than 39,000 small boats Channel crossings from France this year, the government said.
- Refugee status will become temporary and reviewed every 30 months, while refugees must wait 20 years before applying for permanent residency, the government said.
- The government warned Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo they have one month to co-operate or face visa bans, with around 4,000 nationals flagged for deportation.
- The package overhauls human-rights tests by narrowing European Convention on Human Rights rules, replacing multiple appeals with a single consolidated appeal and a new independent appeals body, while expanding AI age-verification technology and a digital ID.
