Country Report: Differential treatment of specific nationalities in reception
Last updated: 19/04/22
There is no difference in treatment in reception based on nationality. The reception standards are the same as for asylum seekers of other nationalities with the notable exception of the distribution of pocket money. Thus, nationals of countries exempt from the visa requirement do not receive the 3 CHF granted by the SEM to asylum seekers housed in the federal centres.[1]
