Refugees asked to repay £10,000 under new rules
Under the upcoming UK Immigration and Asylum Bill, asylum seekers who can work will be required to repay around £10,000 toward support costs once they start earning. The funds must be paid back before they are eligible for permanent settlement, with the government adjusting thresholds and charges as needed. Critics argue the initiative is unfair and impractical, citing low employment rates among refugees and the impact on their ability to rebuild lives.
