Frequently Asked Questions
A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee their country due to persecution, war,
or violence and has been granted protection. An asylum seeker is someone who has applied
for protection but whose claim has not yet been decided.
To register with UNHCR, you should visit the nearest UNHCR office in your country. Bring
any identification documents you have and be prepared to provide information about your
situation.
UNHCR provides protection, emergency assistance, shelter, healthcare, education, legal
aid, and works toward finding durable solutions for refugees including resettlement,
local integration, or voluntary repatriation.
The resettlement process varies depending on the country and individual circumstances.
It can take anywhere from several months to several years.
