In general, no distinction is made on grounds of nationality in the Netherlands. However, asylum applicants from safe countries of origin and third country nationals who have already been granted an international protection status and whose asylum application is dealt with in ‘Track 2’ will only be entitled to ‘austere reception conditions’, see Access and forms of reception conditions. In September 2023 the austere reception conditions were extended to Dublin claimants, only to be applied that are suited for this scheme.[1]
