Once in reception, there are no recorded differences among asylum seekers based on their nationalities. However, problems have been reported as regards the possibility to access the asylum procedure and the reception system for specific nationalities (see Registration).
However, after the takeover by the Taliban in Afghanistan of August 2021 and the war in Ukraine, the Government has provided specific accommodation measures for Afghans, first of all for those evacuated, and later for people escaping from Ukraine.
Accommodation measure for Afghans
To meet the reception needs of asylum seekers from Afghanistan the DL no. 139 of 8 October 2021, has provided for the activation of a further 3,000 places in SAI[1] and Article 1 (390) L 234/2021 has provided additional 2,000 places.
These were reserved seats which were then extended to those who fled Ukraine by Article 5 quarter (5) and (6) DL 14/2022 converted into L 28/2022.
Accommodation for people escaping from the Ukrainian conflict
See Annex on Temporary Protection.
