Are you afraid to return to your country?
You have the right to seek asylum in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The UNHCR Help page for Bosnia and Herzegovina provides essential information on the asylum procedure and international protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is primarily intended for asylum-seekers and refugees.
Refugees are individuals who have fled their countries to escape conflict, violence, or persecution and have crossed an international border to find safety. They are defined and protected under international law and must not be expelled or returned to situations where their life or freedom would be at risk.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the authorities determine whether your circumstances qualify you as a refugee. This is done through a process known as Refugee Status Determination (RSD).
While your asylum application is being processed, you are considered an asylum-seeker and are entitled to protection.
On this page, you can find information about:
- Asylum procedure and international protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Services and where to seek help in Bosnia and Herzegovina
