Resettlement

No resettlement programmes from Malta to other countries

UNHCR Malta would like to clarify that there is NO resettlement program between the USA and Malta or any other country.

Registration carried out by UNHCR Malta for holders of Refugee Status or Subsidiary Protection is NOT for resettlement purposes, but to have your records with our office in case we need to contact you for any upcoming integration opportunities or similar local activities.

Any rumours, documents or application forms being circulated about a UNHCR resettlement programme are false, and we therefore advise refugees and migrants to beware of anyone asking you to share sensitive information or pay a fee to apply for resettlement to a third country.

UNHCR services are ALWAYS free of charge and provided by UNHCR staff.

UNHCR Malta strongly cautions against the spreading of misinformation which takes advantage of persons seeking asylum. We would also advise anyone with information about these false rumours to contact the UNHCR office in Malta should you come across application forms that you suspect to be false.

We would appreciate it if this notice is shared among your network, especially refugee and migrant communities.
