Home Secretary James Cleverly will sign a new treaty for the Government鈥檚 stalled asylum deal during a visit to Rwanda.
Mr Cleverly is travelling to Kigali as Rishi Sunak bids to make the plan to send migrants to the African nation legally watertight after the Supreme Court鈥檚 ruling against the policy.
Domestic legislation is also planned so Parliament could assert Rwanda is a safe destination for asylum seekers who arrive in Britain.
He will also visit the genocide memorial in Kigali and staff at the British High Commission during his聽first overseas visit as Home Secretary.
Ministers hope the upgraded agreement along with 鈥渆mergency鈥 legislation at home will address the issues that led the UK鈥檚 highest court to rule the Rwanda scheme unlawful.
Ahead of his arrival in Kigali, Mr Cleverly said: 鈥淲e are clear that Rwanda is a safe country, and we are working at pace to move forward with this partnership to stop the boats and save lives.
鈥淩wanda cares deeply about the rights of refugees, and I look forward to meeting with counterparts to sign this agreement and further discuss how we work together tackle the global challenge of illegal migration.鈥
Confirmed details of the finalised treaty are yet to be disclosed but reports have swirled about what it will contain.
There has been speculation that Rwanda is pushing for more money on top of the 拢140 million already committed to the scheme.
The Sunday Times reported that the capital of Kigali is to be given a 拢15 million top-up payment to agree fresh terms on the agreement to take migrants who arrive in the UK on small boats.
He declined afterwards to say how much more money he would spend to get the scheme off the ground.
Downing Street insisted there had been no demand for extra money from聽Rwanda.
The Prime Minister鈥檚 official spokesman said: 鈥淐ertainly I don鈥檛 recognise that figure of 拢15 million, there鈥檚 been no request for additional funding for the treaty made by聽Rwanda, or not offered by the UK Government.鈥
When Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer was pressed on whether British lawyers could be stationed in聽Rwanda鈥檚聽courts, she told BBC Breakfast on Monday: 鈥淭here is an issue about processing and I know that the Home Office are looking at that very carefully.
鈥淚 know that the Home Secretary James Cleverly is now working with聽Rwanda聽on a new treaty, and we will be bringing forward legislation in due course.鈥
After the Supreme Court judgment on November 15, the Government insisted it had been working on contingency measures and promised a treaty with聽Rwanda聽within days along with emergency legislation in Parliament, but so far neither has emerged.
Mr Cleverly is the third home secretary to travel to Rwanda since Priti Patel signed the initial deal in April last year.
His predecessor, Suella Braverman, also visited Kigali earlier this year.
