“The federal cabinet approved a one-year extension of the validity of PoR (Proof of Registration) cards of 1.45 million Afghan refugees,” reads a statement released today. June 30, 2024, is when their PoR cards expired. It has been decided to extend till June 30, 2025.
For registered Afghan refugees, the Proof of Registration (PoR) is a vital identifying document. In addition to being registered, over 800,000 have Afghan citizenship cards, according to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).
Citing security concerns, the caretaker administration of the previous year stated in October that Afghan refugees who had been living in the nation unlawfully would be returned home.
Over 500,000 Afghan refugees have returned home as a result of the repatriation of illegal Afghans, which started on November 1 and is still ongoing, according to information from the Interior Ministry.
