UNHCR does not operate or support refugee camps or other housing options in Thailand for urban asylum-seekers or refugees. However, there is some support available for vulnerable asylum-seekers and refugees.
ATTENTION! The following information is meant for people who are registered with Thailand UNHCR and have a valid UNHCR card:
Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) manages a few Temporary Shelters in Bangkok, where you can stay a maximum of 30 days. Through accommodation counselling, JRS will assess your case and support you in finding a new place in and around Bangkok.
➡️ For more information, please contact JRS directly and request accommodation counselling.
⚠️ Please note that JRS is a separate and independent NGO from UNHCR. Whether they can assist you is a decision that is entirely up to them.
In some cases, BRC or other organizations that work with asylum-seekers and refugees can negotiate with landlords. Please contact BRC Social Service Unit if you need assistance.
If you are an asylum-seeker, you may wish to contact JRS for possible financial support. Please note that JRS is a separate and independent NGO from UNHCR. Whether JRS can assist you is a decision that is entirely up to them.
⚠️ Please note that UNHCR works with the Royal Thai Government to support forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals in “temporary shelters” in the Thai-Myanmar border areas. These are not open to other nationalities and are controlled by the Royal Thai Government.
