Asylum seekers are informed of their rights and obligations pursuant to Section 17(3) of the Asylum Decree. After the submission of the asylum application, the NDGAP shall inform the person seeking asylum in writing in their mother tongue or in another language understood by them, without delay and within a maximum of 15 days, concerning all provisions and assistance to which they are entitled under the law, as well as the obligations with which they must comply in respect to reception conditions, and information as to organisations providing legal or other individual assistance.
Information is also provided orally to asylum seekers on the day when they arrive at the reception centre, in addition to an information leaflet. The information given includes the house rules of the reception centre, the material assistance to which applicants are entitled, and information on access to education and health care. Since 2019 the written information on reception conditions is available in Hungarian, English, Arabic and Farsi in Vámosszabadi.[1]
According to Menedék Association, upon their arrival to Fót, the home manager provides information to the UaSC, but in the interests of the effectiveness of the information and the consistent quality of the information, Menedék would consider it useful if the home developed a common protocol for provision of information.
