The Danish Immigration Service decided on August 29 to renew asylum applications filed by migrants from UNRWA’s following fields of operations: Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank.
The Danish Refugee Council said 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.
An activist who was deported from Syria to Denmark told AGPS that Palestinian refugees carrying one-year stays and seeking to return to their homelands face strict conditions as they are categorized as “stateless”.
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.
