What is asylum?

Asylum means protection in another country.

You can apply for asylum in Algeria if you cannot safely return to your country.

This may be because:

  • You are afraid of being harmed because of:
    • your race
    • your religion
    • your nationality
    • your political opinion
    • your social group (for example, your family or community)
  • Or because of:
    • war or violence
    • torture
    • inhuman or degrading treatment

If this applies to you, you can ask for asylum in Algeria.
