The process for seeking asylum in Ireland involves several steps, as outlined below:
- Informing the Authorities: The first step is to inform the authorities that you want to apply for international protection, which is also called claiming asylum. You can do this when you enter Ireland or if you are already in the country3.3
- Preliminary Interview: After informing the authorities, you will be asked to take part in a preliminary interview. This interview is conducted to gather basic information about you and your reasons for seeking asylum3.3
- Completing a Questionnaire: You will then be asked to complete a questionnaire that provides more detailed information about your background, your reasons for seeking asylum, and your journey to Ireland.3
- Substantive Interview: The next step is a substantive interview, which is a more detailed interview that explores your reasons for seeking asylum in greater depth. This interview is usually conducted within four to six weeks of your arrival in Ireland5.5
- Decision: After the substantive interview, the authorities will make a decision on your application for international protection. If you are granted refugee status, you will be entitled to remain in Ireland and receive protection under its laws2. If you are not granted refugee status, you may still be eligible for subsidiary protection2.2
- Appeal: If your application for international protection is rejected, you have the right to appeal the decision. The appeal process involves a review of your case by an independent appeals tribunal6.6
