Complementary Pathways

ATTENTION, ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY UNHCR AND ITS PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ARE FREE OF CHARGE!

Complementary pathways for admission are safe and regulated avenues for refugees that complement resettlement by providing lawful stay in a third country where their international protection needs are met. They are additional to resettlement and do not substitute the protection afforded to refugees under the international protection regime.

The below information represents a non-exhaustive list of complementary pathways for admission of refugees to third countries.

Please note the following additional information on UNHCR’s Exit Support Letters in relation to Complementary Pathways:

To request an Exit Support Letter for any complementary pathways, kindly submit a copy of the following documents:

  • UNHCR certificate/card,
  • Destination Country Visa
  • Copy of your Flight Ticket

Additionally, please share your Email address and phone/WhatsApp number.

While booking your flight ticket, please keep in mind that FRRO usually takes around 3 to 4 weeks to process an exit permit. Thus, kindly book your flight ticket accordingly.

Kindly wait for UNHCR to process your request. You can follow up on your request by calling 7303881690, 9667144221 or writing to us at [email protected]

DISCLAIMER: UNHCR does not help refugees/asylum seekers to obtain Humanitarian Visas, as these are third-country independent programs. UNHCR also cannot request third countries to expedite any cases. UNHCR is not involved in processing these cases in any way, whatsoever.
