Who Can Apply for Asylum?
How to Claim Asylum in the UK
What to Expect
Following your screening, you will be assigned a caseworker and invited to a substantive interview. This is where you explain in detail why you are seeking protection in the UK. You will also have the opportunity to provide evidence to support your claim.
While your application is being considered, you may be eligible for temporary accommodation and a small weekly allowance. However, the right to work is usually restricted during this time.
Recent Changes to the Asylum Process
As of 2025, the UK government has confirmed that asylum claims will be processed within the UK. Previous plans to remove applicants to other countries have been withdrawn, and efforts are being made to reduce case backlogs and improve processing times.
If Your Claim Is Refused
If your asylum application is refused, you have the right to appeal. We can assist with preparing your appeal, submitting supporting evidence, and representing you at the tribunal. If you are no longer eligible to appeal, we can also advise on fresh claims or other immigration routes.
