- Payments will be made in monthly installments and only adults with sufficient means are liable, excluding children.
- Full repayment of around £10,000 is mandatory prior to receiving Indefinite Leave to Remain status.
- Additional reforms propose extending the qualifying period for permanent residency from five to ten years.
Receiving asylum support is a right, but it is also a responsibility. Once people can contribute and repay the generosity of the British people, we expect them to do so.— Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, introducing the reforms to the Immigration and Asylum Bill
