On 12 May 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that the Secretary of Homeland Security is terminating the designation of Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The current designation is set to expire on 20 May 2025, but due to the announcement will be temporarily extended for 60 days, and termination will be effective 14 July 2025 at 11:59 pm, local time. This decision follows a review of country conditions and consultations with appropriate U.S. government agencies. Nationals of Afghanistan (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Afghanistan) who have been granted TPS must depart the United States by the termination date if they are not able to apply for another lawful status.
