Asylum: if you are “appeal rights exhausted”

This guide from Right to Remain (last updated August 2024) explains the "appeal rights exhausted" (ARE) status in the UK asylum process — when it applies, and crucially when it may not be as final as the Home Office suggests. It covers the practical consequences of ARE status, including the stopping of Section 95 asylum support (with a 21-day notice period), heightened risk of detention, and the Home Office's power to initiate removal. The guide also outlines remaining legal avenues, including out-of-time appeals, Upper Tribunal appeals, fresh claims based on new evidence, and human rights applications. It is aimed at refused asylum seekers at this late stage of the process and those supporting them.
