Event: The Asylum process in Switzerland


The asylum procedure in Switzerland

With Corine Reber, legal advisor, Freiplatzaktion Zurich

Anyone who applies for asylum in Switzerland goes through a procedure with an uncertain outcome. How does the asylum procedure work and which criteria are used to make which decision? Who gets “F” and who gets “B”? What rights and restrictions are associated with these different residence statuses? What do these letters mean for people? And what else can be done from a legal perspective if a person receives a “Dublin procedure” or their asylum application is rejected?

Corinne Reber, an experienced lawyer in asylum and migration law, will answer these questions at this lecture. She will show how the Asylum Act, which has become increasingly restrictive and complicated over the years, is applied in practice.
