UNHCR Partners

Please note that UNHCR and its partners provide all services free of charge to asylum-seekers, holders of refugee status and temporary asylum status, and stateless persons in the Russian Federation.

If you encounter any instances of solicitation for payment for services rendered by UNHCR or its partners, please report them to the UNHCR Inspector General at: Inspector General’s Office (IGO) Online Complaint Form | UNHCR

Please note that, due to limited capacity, UNHCR and its partners are unable to provide free legal assistance in all regions of Russia. UNHCR and its partners may, however, be able to recommend external lawyers in your region of stay or residence. Please note that any lawyers recommended by UNHCR or its partners are independent professionals and are not affiliated with UNHCR or its partners. You are free to decide whether to engage a recommended lawyer and to choose any lawyer of your preference. Any contractual arrangement is concluded directly between you and the lawyer concerned. UNHCR and its partners are not parties to such agreements and cannot intervene in matters arising from your relationship with the lawyer.
