Submit an Asylum Application in the UK
Overview
Claims for asylum are claims made in the United Kingdom, seeking the protection of the United Kingdom from their country of origin under the Geneva Convention of Refugees.
Requirements
In essence, a successful claimant has to prove that they are fleeing persecution and that the persecution that they suffered was:
- Due to their race
- Their religion
- Their nationality
- Their political opinion
- anything else that puts them at risk because of the social, cultural, religious or political situation in their country, for example, their gender, gender identity or sexual orientation.
A person MUST show that they have failed to get protection from authorities in your own country (in other words their country government either was unable to protect them or unwilling to protect them)
(Asylum cases frequently go hand in hand with Human Rights based cases)
How to I apply
All applications for Asylum have to be made in person at the UKVI Asylum Screening Unit.
We would URGE anyone claiming asylum to seek professional advice PRIOR to attending a screening interview.
What visa will I receive?
- Successful applicants will be granted refugee status for 5 years (or)
- May be offered limited leave to remain until their 18 birthday (or)
- May be refused asylum and be granted discretionary leave on Human Rights
