UNHCR services are always free of charge!
Beware of individuals or groups who may try to exploit you by falsely promising UNHCR-related assistance or services in exchange for money, favours or personal information.
UNHCR does NOT work with any type of agent or broker, including tourism agencies and internet cafés, to provide access to UNHCR services. UNHCR is also NOT involved in any visa/immigration programs for any country.
Do not trust anyone claiming to be affiliated with UNHCR and claiming to be able to fast-track or guarantee UNHCR services in exchange for money or favours. They are fraudsters!
These fraudsters may reach out to you in person or through messages, calls, emails, mobile applications or social media. Do not pay these fraudsters and instead report them to UNHCR and the police.
