Together Now: Temporary criteria
Currently we are not able to provide flights for everyone who applies to us. We are only able to support less than 1 out of every 10 families who apply. Please make sure you have tried all other options before making an application.We apologise to everyone we will not be able to help and are working on improving this situation. Please see our guidance on booking flights yourself.
We can only help families who:
- Have received their UK Entry Clearance visas for Refugee Family Reunion.
- Have all the necessary exit permissions and are ready to travel.
- Have no other means of funding their travel.
- Will accept any flight booking before the UK Entry Clearance visas expire including those with transit stops.
We can currently only accept applications where:
- The cost of flights is significant (over £500)
AND
- Children or young adults are living without either parent.
- Families who are displaced (particularly those at risk of immediate serious harm caused by overstaying or those unable to access healthcare).
- Families who are at significant risk of immediate harm or urgently requiring life-saving medical treatment that they cannot access where they are currently.
Please note; meeting these criteria does not mean we will definitely be able to accept your application.
Applicants must meet our criteria as below:
- Applicant must have refugee status in the UK and be in the process of or have obtained UK entry visas for their families travel
- Applicants must be able to prove they cannot afford to fund or arrange the travel themselves
- Applicants must have been granted refugee status in the last 5 years and must be able to provide proof of their status to accompany any application
If there are extenuating circumstances, particularly around facilitating reunions for unaccompanied minors these criteria may be reconsidered.
