For the attention of all refugees and forcibly displaced and stateless people in Iran who submitted RST requests via the Online contact form:
Please note that “Resettlement” is not a right. You cannot apply for resettlement. You also cannot request/refer yourself or someone else for resettlement consideration. Please do not approach UNHCR, or partner agency requesting resettlement consideration.
However, if you have any other request or concern that you believe requires support from UNHCR, you may contact UNHCR via the telephone helpline or submit an online contact form by selecting the most appropriate reason for contacting UNHCR.
All UNHCR services are always free of charge! Be aware of individuals offering to help you obtain UNHCR services in exchange for money or favors. These individuals may pretend to be affiliated with UNHCR and may also falsely claim to be able to fast-track or guarantee UNHCR services. These individuals are fraudsters! Do not trust them. UNHCR will never ask you for money or favors! Do not pay these fraudsters and instead report them to UNHCR and BAFIA/police.
Please only rely on officially issued messages from UNHCR which can be found on the UNHCR Iran Help Page (https://help.unhcr.org/iran/). When in doubt, please check directly with UNHCR for more information.
