DHS Extends Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Designations for 18 Months for Current Beneficiaries from El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua

June 14, 2023

On June 13, 2023, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans to rescind its prior terminations of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua and extend TPS designations for all four countries for 18 months. DHS will publish Federal Register notices for the El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua TPS rescissions and extensions and provide additional information on the re-registration process soon.

The extension of TPS for El Salvador from Sept. 10, 2023, through March 9, 2025, allows approximately 239,000 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements.

The extension of TPS for Honduras from Jan. 6, 2024, through July 5, 2025, allows approximately 76,000 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements.

The extension of TPS for Nepal from Dec. 25, 2023, through June 24, 2025, allows approximately 14,500 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements.

The extension of TPS for Nicaragua from Jan. 6, 2024, through July 5, 2025, allows approximately 4,000 current beneficiaries to re-register to retain TPS under the extension if they still meet TPS eligibility requirements.

Existing El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua TPS beneficiaries who wish to extend their status must re-register during the 60-day re-registration periods that will be detailed in the Federal Register Notice.
