Durable solutions
Attention! All UNHCR services are free of charge.
Finding solutions that enable refugees to live their lives in dignity and peace is a core part of our work. They can include voluntary repatriation, resettlement, and integration.
However, in Thailand, these solutions are extremely limited:
- Resettlement is only available to a very small number of refugees and is subject to the criteria and quotas set by resettlement countries. Most refugees in Thailand will not be considered for resettlement.
- UNHCR is not facilitating voluntary repatriation and therefore support is limited to providing counselling on the conditions in the country of origin and advising whether a safe and dignified return is possible.
- Local Integration is not currently possible as there are no legal pathways for permanent residency or citizenship for refugees in Thailand.
