CGRS publishes new guide for unaccompanied minors applying for asylum in Belgium

The Commissioner General for Refugees and Stateless Persons has published a new guide that provides information to unaccompanied minors applying for asylum in Belgium, as well as their guardians.

The CGRS' new guide provides information on the asylum process to unaccompanied minors who apply for asylum in Belgium, as well as their guardians. The Guide is part of the CGRS’s legal obligation to provide information. It was published with the support of the AMIF.

The Guide is available in French, Dutch, English, Albanian, Arab, Dari, Pashto, Somali, and Tigrinya on the website of the CGRS.

As from 24 February 2017, the Immigration Office gives this guide to the unaccompanied minors who speak French or English when they apply for asylum. Once the Guide is available in the other languages mentioned above, every unaccompanied minor will receive the guide in the language of his or her choice when registering an asylum application at the Immigration Office.

For further information, see the website of the CGRS.
