The Home Office stated on Tuesday that the first group of asylum seekers had been informed that they would be placed on a flight to Rwanda on June 14.
It comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced in April that the UK had reached an agreement with the Rwandan government to accept an unspecified number of asylum applicants.
As part of the agreement, the UK has committed to pay the Kigali government £120 million initially.
More money will be paid for each person deployed to help pay the costs of their housing and integration into Rwandan society.
Although the Home Secretary has stated that she is determined to guarantee that the first group of asylum seekers depart on June 14, the Home Office has stated that it anticipates a number of court challenges to be filed in an attempt to block the departure.
