Cash and other forms of assistance

ATTENTION! As of 01 July 2025, UNHCR is no longer able to provide financial assistance/ Cash-Based Interventions (CBI) in partnership with BRC.


What other support is there? ⬇️

You may wish to contact Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), one of the NGOs in Thailand providing support to asylum-seekers.

JRS assesses each request for financial assistance individually through an interview with a caseworker. JRS cannot assist in all cases, but they try to make all decisions fairly, prioritizing those cases most in need.  Please contact JRS for more information.

Please note that JRS is a separate and independent NGO from UNHCR. Whether or not they can support your case will be up to their final decision according to their established guidelines, policies and criteria. Please follow their guidance and recommendation if you want to seek help from JRS.


Where can I get food and other type of assistance? ⬇️

UNHCR Thailand does not provide in-kind or food assistance to refugees and asylum-seekers.

If you wish to get information on in-kind and food support, UNHCR advises you to contact community and religious organizations, as well as NGOs who can provide more information.
