In 2022, as in previous years, in Timișoara it was reported that all Syrian nationals were granted a form of protection. In Giurgiu, Rădăuţi, Şomcuta Mare and Galati asylum applications of Syrian nationals are also rejected, according to the directors of these centres. In Rădăuţi the majority of Syrian asylum seekers are rejected, including unaccompanied children; only one or two were granted a form of protection. In Galati only a few Syrian national asylum seekers’ applications were rejected.
In the case of Syrian asylum seekers, in 2023, according to IGI-DAI, 748 applications were admitted and the asylum seekers were granted a form of protection (605 in Bucharest, 60 in Galati, 12 in Giurgiu, 10 in Rădăuţi, 21 in Şomcuta Mare, 40 in Timisoara) and 377 applications rejected (287 in Bucharest, 183 in Galati, 51 in Giurgiu, 8 in Rădăuţi, 130 in Şomcuta Mare, 5 in Timișoara).[1]
