Country Report: Differential treatment of specific nationalities in the procedure Last updated: 19/08/25

Author

Differential treatment of specific nationalities is not based on official policies or guidelines. Nevertheless, some patterns and trends are observed in practice.

Applications from Syrian asylum applicants are generally considered to be well-founded, and Syrian applicants are granted international protection (in most cases, refugee status).[1]

Applications from Palestinian asylum applicants are also generally considered to be well-founded, and in most cases, they are granted refugee status.[2]

Applications from Burundian asylum applicants are generally considered to be well-founded and they are granted refugee status.

Applications from Ukrainians are considered to be well-founded since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022. Ukrainian asylum applicants are granted subsidiary protection for one year. In addition, applications of Ukrainian asylum applicants are prioritised, and they receive a decision within 6 months.[3]
