In February 2026, the Finnish Immigration Service partly suspended the processing of asylum applications submitted by Syrian nationals due to the changes in the security situation. The suspension will continue until 30 April 2026 as the situation remains unstable and then a re-assessment will be conducted.
The Finnish Immigration Service has a dedicated page about the situation in Iran.
