Country Report: First country of asylum
Last updated: 30/11/20
According to Article 13(2)(2) LAR, an application can be dismissed as inadmissible where the asylum seeker has been granted and can still enjoy refugee status or other effective protection in a third country, including protection from refoulement, provided that he or she can be returned to that country.
National asylum legislation does not envisage the first country of asylum concept separately from, or, in addition to, the “safe third country” lists.
