No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF)

This guide from Right to Remain covers the NRPF condition placed on many UK visas, detailing which benefits and support are restricted, which are still accessible, and how the condition affects undocumented migrants by default. It explains eligibility for a 'Change of Conditions' application to have NRPF lifted — including the routes that qualify, the evidence required (typically six months of financial evidence), and what to expect after submitting. The guide also covers related topics such as the Habitual Residence Test, Section 17 support, asylum support, and lists organisations and campaigns relevant to NRPF. Note that the guide is primarily focused on the visa condition rather than broader immigration status issues, and signposts readers to seek regulated OISC-level advice for individual applications.
