Background & Purpose

The government identified a need to create a more orderly reception process, improve the efficiency of returns, and reduce social exclusion among asylum seekers.

The Decision

The parliament approved the new reception law, which introduces stricter rules for daily allowances, geographical movement, and reporting requirements for asylum seekers.

Does this affect you?

  • Asylum seekers: They face stricter rules regarding where they can live, how they must report their presence, and when they are allowed to start working.
  • Individuals with deportation orders: They are now subject to mandatory reporting requirements and geographical restrictions while awaiting their departure.

In Practice

  • Daily allowances can be reduced if an individual fails to meet their obligations.
  • Asylum seekers may be required to stay within a specific geographical area.
  • Mandatory attendance checks will be introduced at asylum housing facilities.
  • The right to work without a permit is delayed until six months after the asylum application is submitted.
  • Individuals with deportation orders are subject to stricter reporting and movement requirements.
