Frequently asked questions
Who can claim asylum in the UK?
You can claim asylum if you cannot return to your country because you fear persecution for reasons such as your race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group. The official process for claiming is on GOV.UK (gov.uk/claim-asylum).
How do I start an asylum claim?
Asylum claims are normally made to the Home Office, often on arrival or as soon as possible after, and involve a screening followed by a substantive interview. The current steps are set out on GOV.UK (gov.uk/claim-asylum). Getting advice early helps you prepare your account and evidence.
Can I work while my asylum claim is decided?
Asylum seekers are generally not allowed to work while a claim is being decided, though limited permission can apply in specific circumstances, and support with accommodation and essentials may be available. The current position is on GOV.UK (gov.uk/claim-asylum).
What happens if my asylum claim is refused?
A refused asylum claim usually carries a right of appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), where an independent judge reconsiders your case. The appeals process is on GOV.UK (gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/immigration-appeals), and strict deadlines apply.
Is asylum the same as a human rights claim?
They overlap but are not identical. Asylum is based on the Refugee Convention, while a human rights claim relies on rights such as family and private life or protection from serious harm. A single case can raise both — a solicitor in the network can advise which grounds fit your situation.
