NGOs have not observed any form of preference given to particular nationalities. In practice, however, the new work policy introduced in May 2021, whereby asylum-seekers coming from listed safe countries of origin can only access work 9 months after they apply for asylum, coupled with the eviction policy of AWAS at 6 months seriously puts these asylum-seekers at risk of destitution and poverty (see Access to labour market).
