TAC are a place for temporary accommodation of asylum applicants in respect of whom a decision has been made to process their application in the preliminary examination stage, or who have been recognised as a refugee or a person in need of complementary protection.
No other types of accommodation, such as hotels, private houses/flats, or emergency shelters, are provided for asylum applicants. Asylum applicants are allowed to stay with relatives, in a hotel, renting a flat but only on their own means.[2]
