Key takeaways: What are the proposed asylum system reforms?

"People granted asylum in the UK will only be allowed to stay in the country temporarily, with their status reviewed every 30 months. This means people could be returned to their home country if it is judged "safe". The scheme mirrors the approach in Denmark, where refugees get two-year permits and must reapply when they expire."

"Refugees will also need to be resident in the UK for 20 years before they can apply for permanent residence or indefinite leave to remain - up from the current five years. The government will also create a new "work and study" visa route, and encourage refugees to find employment or begin education in order to switch onto this route and earn settlement more quickly. Only those on this work and study route will be able to sponsor family members to join them in the UK."

"The home secretary also plans to end the process of allowing multiple appeals in asylum cases and replacing it with a single, consolidated appeal where all grounds must be raised at once. A new independent appeals body will be created, staffed by trained adjudicators and supported by early legal advice."

Asylum status will be temporary with reviews every 30 months and possible return if a home country is judged safe. Settlement eligibility will rise to 20 years of residency instead of five. A new work and study visa route will be introduced to encourage employment or education and to speed settlement for those who switch onto it. Family sponsorship will be limited to those on the work and study route and to immediate relatives in future. The appeals system will move to a single consolidated appeal supported by an independent appeals body, and Article 8 ECHR application in migration cases will be narrowed to prioritise removals.
