Asylum application

An asylum application is a formal request made by a person who has fled their home country, seeking protection because they face persecution, violence, or serious harm there. By applying for asylum, they ask another country for safety and the right to stay, often due to political beliefs, religion, ethnicity, or membership in a social group. The process involves providing evidence and attending interviews. If approved, they are granted legal status and can stay in that country, often with rights similar to citizens. The goal is to protect individuals fleeing danger when their home country cannot provide safety.
