In 2019, there have been no reports of people being refused entry at the border. In 2018, due to capacity problems within the IND, some Cuban asylum seekers were held at the Schiphol Airport lounge for three days before they were able to lodge their asylum application. The Council of State ruled that this situation was unacceptable and that the State Secretary has to provide adequate facilities for the persons concerned.[1]
