Protection and Assistance

If you have a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular group or political opinion, you have the right to request refuge in another country and not be returned to your country while your case is being examined. Find out more about the responsible institutions in the country where you are located in the “Protection and Assistance” section.

Consulates

Consulates are offices of your country located abroad and they protect your rights. Use their services. In the “Protection and Assistance” section you can look up the embassies and consulates belonging to your country.
