Further to recent press statements regarding contingency arrangements on St Helena to support the welfare of any migrant who may arrive in the future in the British Indian Overseas Territories (BIOT), a team of officials from the FCDO and the Home Office will be arriving this Saturday 9 November 2024. The team will be on island for a week and their primary focus will be to work with our Immigration and Customs team to identify training needs and to develop relevant operating procedures, as was agreed in our MOU.
