Denmark Changes Visas for Palestinian Refugees

Denmark is considering changing the legal visas of Palestinian holders of a one-year subsidiary protection status under Article 7/3. Palestinian refugees coming from UNRWA’s fields of operations will be categorized as political asylum-seekers, as part of Article 7/1.

Danish sources told AGPS that the list of concerned refugees includes Palestinians from Syria with “humanitarian visas” granted as part of Article 7/2.

According to the same source, the measure is expected to enhance the legal status of Palestinian refugees from Syria. The Danish authorities have not yet confirmed their intent to grant the refugees’ permanent visas or take in naturalization applications.

The Danish Immigration Service decided on August 29 to renew asylum applications submitted by migrants from UNRWA’s following fields of operations: Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank.

The Danish Refugee Council said at the time that the Immigration Service will re-examine 40 refuted cases and 50 other cases of Palestinians from Syria granted a one-year visa.

One of the following three types of visas is often granted in Denmark: political asylum, humanitarian asylum, and temporary protection. The latter is valid for one renewable year and its holder becomes entitled to family reunification only after three years.

Political and humanitarian asylum-seekers are granted a five-year stay renewable every two years. Those applying for permanent stays in Denmark often face complicated red tape and tough conditions.

Over recent years, successive right-wing governments in Denmark backed up by the far right-wing Danish People’s Party have adopted anti-migration policies.
