There are no specific nationalities in cases of which the application would be considered manifestly well-founded. On the other hand, the application made by the applicant from safe countries of origin is considered manifestly unfounded, unless they prove that in their individual case the country should not be considered as safe.
In 2025, procedures have been frozen in case of Syrian applicants for international protection or prolongation of the subsidiary protection, due to the political changes in Syria. By the end of 2025 the procedures resumed. Before, all Syrian nationals were granted subsidiary protection or (less frequently) asylum. The recent information provided by the MoI suggests that this will no longer be the practice and every application will be considered individually. As of 2026, OPU came across several negative decisions for Syrian nationals (either not granting international protection or not prolonging subsidiary protection), where the MoI claime there is no longer an armed conflict going on in Syria.
There are a few countries whose nationals are generally granted subsidiary protection, namely: Afghanistan, Yemen, and Ukraine. As of 2026, the situation of Ukrainian nationals changed. The MoI now makes a distinction between different regions in Ukraine. If a person comes from western Ukraine, their application is usually rejected. Also, in 2023, all 22 applicants from Myanmar were granted asylum.
