The processing of asylum cases concerning persons from Syria remains on hold, and the situation in Syria will affect the processing of certain other cases concerning persons from Syria and their family members.
Asylum cases remain on hold On 10 December 2024, the Danish Immigration Service decided to suspend the processing of asylum cases concerning persons from Syria. This decision is still valid.
The suspension was made in continuation of the decision of the Refugee Board's Coordination Committee to suspend cases in the Refugee Board concerning persons from Syria due to the very uncertain situation in the country after the fall of the Assad regime. The Coordination Committee decided on 16 January 2025 to maintain the suspension.
Other cases put on hold The fall of the Assad regime will also have an impact on the Danish Immigration Service's processing of certain other cases concerning persons from Syria and their family members.
These include, for example, certain cases concerning the extension of residence permits concerning refugees from Syria, certain cases concerning family reunification of refugees from Syria and certain cases concerning permanent residence permits concerning persons who have an extension case pending. Some of these cases will therefore also be put on hold.
