Asylum Procedure in The Netherlands (Engels) | VluchtelingenWerk Nederland

To get protection as a refugee in the Netherlands, you have to request asylum. From that moment, you will be a part of the asylum procedure. During this procedure, the Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst (IND) investigates if you are a refugee recording to the European Convention on Human Rights. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/abonneeropVWNL
In the Netherlands, you can request asylum if you're afraid to be prosecuted in your country of origin, if you're afraid of the death penalty or torture, if you're afraid to be violated or if you are traumatised due to events that happened in your home country. If your asylum request gets approved, you will obtain a residence permit. If your request gets denied, you will have to leave the Netherlands.
----------------------------------
During all the phases of the asylum procedure, asylum seekers will be supported by on of our employees or volunteers. They will explain how the asylum procedure works and which organisations are involved in this process. In these videos you will also see with which aspects VluchtelingenWerk Nederland can assist you.
-----------------------------------
VluchtelingenWerk Nederland assists refugees and asylum seekers from the moment they enter the Netherlands until they found their way independently. As an independent organisation we are standing up for everyones interests. Our volunteers are supporting asylum seekers in the asylum centers and they help refugees to build a new life in the Netherlands. We offer counseling during the integration in the Netherlands, we help refugees with fining a job and we help families who are separated because they had to flee to reunite.

Where I go which place to apply asylum

[@VluchtelingenWerkNederland]

Dear Malik, thank you for your question. VluchtelingenWerk is not an international organisation, but one that helps refugees and asylum seekers that are already in The Netherlands. Furthermore, VluchtelingenWerk does not decide on asylum applications or issue visas for travel to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst (IND) looks into whether you qualify as a refugee on behalf of the Dutch government. You cannot submit an asylum application to the IND from abroad. You must travel to the Netherlands first. Nor is it usually possible to obtain a visa to travel to the Netherlands to apply for asylum here.

Do you need a Visa?

[@VluchtelingenWerkNederland]

Thank you for your question, Mist Mage. If you are officially a refugee and have the documents to prove it, then you won't need a visa to travel to the Netherlands if said documents were given to you in a Schengen country. You may need some other documents to travel to our country, but it depends where you start to travel. If you got your refugee documents in a non- Schengen country, then you might need a visa, not in all cases. If you can provide some more information about what documents you already have and which country provided those documents, we can help you find out what you need exactly. You can also call us at [phone]. We hope this helps. Stay safe! Kind regards, Ayla - webcare.

[@AstatiumMr]

Love the free houses and free money every month concept. Really nice your country support those expensive stuffs for free. 🙏🏻

[@VluchtelingenWerkNederland]

Refugees are not getting everything for free. Vluchtelingen krijgen niet alles gratis. This is a lot more nuanced. Building a new life in a new country without money is of course impossible. In most cases they have sold all their possessions to finance the trip to Europe and have nothing left. Moreover, after receiving a residence permit, they do not yet have a job, because they have to learn the language and integrate. Social assistance benefit If status holders are independently housed in a municipality, they are eligible for social assistance benefits. As a society, we have chosen the amount of the social assistance benefit as the absolute minimum income. That is certainly not a great deal and also not an ideal starting position for refugees. Installation credit In many Dutch municipalities, refugees first receive a loan - installation credit. With this furnishing credit they can purchase the much-needed items, such as a bed, table, chairs and a refrigerator. This loan means that refugees will have their social assistance benefits reduced for three years to repay this loan. Help Refugee Work To ensure that refugees know where the best place to shop is, a volunteer from the Council for Refugees often also helps with advice: for example, we will advise refugees where the cheaper shops are in their municipality to buy their household goods and/or where goods can be delivered for free. can be achieved. Or we visit the thrift stores, for example. Health insurance Does an asylum seeker's permanent residence permit take effect? He can then take out Dutch health insurance within 4 months from that date. His health insurance will then start from the date on which the residence permit is granted. So powerful retroactively. In that case, he must also pay premiums to his health insurer retroactively. Groet, Rachel

Hello there, I am Mohammad Jawad Issa a member of a big Syrian family in Lebanon. Our living situation is getting worse every day, the house owner wants to increase the renting fee, and we cant pay for that. Me and my brother can not go back to Syria because of the compulsory military service, and if the Lebanese police find out that w did not pay the accommodation fee they will send me away to Syria , we can not stay in Lebanon, because we have been threaten by the house owner and there are many reasons that I can not discuss here or explain. We are a good family self-discipline and peaceful even. We are hard workers as will. I obtained B.A through an International Scholarship for distinguished students with a good standing GPA 3.1/4.0. We are an academic family will educated and socialized. We like people, but the Lebanese are very racist against us in every aspect of life in working neighboring and even the UNHCR protection staff are so rude and far away from humanitarian behavior. Every time we go to the local branch of the UNHCR they do not permit us to apply for the Refugee Protection Claim application. I know that 126,300 Syrian refugees have gone to Netherlands since 2010 and we are so grateful as a Syrian for your help and I know that there are many of us who need help. Metaphorically, your drops will make the torrent flood of help for each of us. We want you to help us in Refugee Protection Claim, we need the real protection rather than leaving under a racist community. Please we know the Dutch society is kind and passionate about the refugees situation. The majority of us can speak English. You are the only hope for getting us out of this country before it escalates more. We cannot endure this situation anymore. Our request is to help us get the refugee sponsorship for immigrating to Netherlands to be resettled there. We will not be dependent on any government support or the UNHCR we will work and study and contribute for the growth of the Dutch society using our passion and creativity to achieve social growth and harmony among all diverse segments of any culture or community. I know that there are certain resettlement submissions categories. Due to the lack of foreseeable alternative durable solution I want you to understand that we are the most vulnerable category and we need to be protected by you to be resettled in a third country because we are unable to get back to Syria and we have been lost here in Lebanon for 10 years and I ask you to help us to recompense these years to avoid the foggy future which will lead us towards a disorders.
