Citizens Advice are interested in the lived experiences of people who have No Recourse to Public Funds attached to their leave to remain in the UK. The end goal of the research is to highlight the impact of the NRPF attached to anyone’s leave to remain in the UK.

• There is also an option to do the survey by post or by telephone (see details at the end).

• The survey is available in multiple languages: English, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Albanian and Mandarin.
