What is an asylum-seeker? 

An asylum-seeker is a person who leaves his home country, enters another country, and requests asylum in that other country (i.e., international protection). A claimant is an immigrant forced from his country of residence because of war or other causes which affect him or his family. A refugee is an immigrant. They are regarded as a refugee if their case is approved. There is frequently confusion over the words asylum seeker and refugee.

The term asylum is also used in North American English. A person whose asylum application has been approved and asylum has been granted can be either an asylum seeker as described above. On average, around 1 million asylum seekers each year. The asylum seeker may be recognized as a refugee and may be awarded refugee status if the conditions are part of the refugee definition under the Refugee Convention 1951 or other refugee laws, as in the case of asylum claim inside the European Union, for example, the European Convention on Human Rights. However, the parties to the Convention on refugees draw up their own rules to determine the protection status of asylum seekers, and each year, nation by country, the percentage of asylum seekers admitted or denied changes.

You cannot live securely in any area of your nation if you are to remain as a refugee in the United Kingdom because you are afraid of persecution.

This persecution is due to your race

  • Your faith
  • Your citizenship
  • Your view on politics

Everything else, such as your gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation, puts you in danger due to your nation’s social, cultural, religious, or political conditions. You must not have been protected in your nation from authorities. Your claim may not be taken into account if you:

  • are from the EU Member State
  • Via a ‘safe third nation’ to the UK
  • have an asylum-claiming relationship to a safe third nation

A safe third nation is usually one of the following:

  • You’re not an individual citizen
  • You wouldn’t be hurt
  • wouldn’t transfer you to a place that would harm you

If you are with you in Britain, you can add your partner and children under the age of 18 as ‘dependents.’ Your children below the age of 18 and your partner can also apply for themselves but are not considered dependents.
