Refugees with insecure residence permit status can use our counselling and advice service to receive information and support with any questions around asylum law, right of residence and social legislation.
At any point during the asylum procedure, you can access information about your rights and support in dealing with government agencies. If you haven’t applied for asylum yet or are considering an apprenticeship or a university degree instead, we can provide advice.
