Reform UK announces plan to deport 90,000 asylum seekers and ban asylum for five years
Reform UK has announced proposals to immediately deport 90,000 asylum seekers and bar people from being granted asylum for five years. The plan would also review the status of anyone granted asylum since 2024 and abolish all legal resettlement routes except those for Ukrainians. This is a proposal and is not in force yet.

The Netherlands automatically strips Dutch citizenship from dual nationals who live outside the Netherlands, the rest of the Kingdom, and the EU for 13 consecutive years without obtaining a new Dutch passport, ID card, or certificate of nationality. A qualifying document or a year of residence in the Kingdom or EU restarts the clock, and the loss runs by operation of law but can now be reviewed for proportionality after the fact.
