    The UK do not take a large portion of refugees per year by comparison to other countries. This is because of the smaller size of the kingdom, coupled with the lack of budget assigned to the process. Nevertheless it is possible to claim asylum in the UK or to complete your visa application for immigration purposes.

    Given that you can claim asylum in the UK, this article explores the ways in which you can claim asylum for yourself, making your task as simple as possible.

    How Do You Claim Asylum in The UK?

    Follow these steps to file your claim as an asylum seeker when you arrive in Britain.

    Claim Asylum ASAP

    You may claim asylum in the UK from the moment you step foot on British soil. The UK Government have clearly outlined policies regarding where you can stay and what you can do. It is advisable to claim asylum as soon as possible. Hand yourself over to the local authorities upon arrival or as soon as possible thereafter.

    If you stay in the country too long before you file your claim, the court system will class you as having lived here for some time. This will nullify your claim.

    Hire an Immigration Lawyer

    An immigration lawyer can help you with your visa if you plan to move to the UK. They can represent your interests as an asylum seeker and help your family get out of sheltered housing faster. Legal representation when you arrive in Britain means higher chances of a successful application to remain in the country.

Provide any details that the UK government ask of you and obey their rules regarding where you live and restricting your ability to work.

    Have Your Interview

    After you are settled with new living arrangements you will receive a visit from an official from the Department of Immigration. They will assess your circumstances and make notes of any other details you can give. Be fully honest and truthful with them but do also speak to your lawyer beforehand for advice.

    The Decision Process

    Once your interview for asylum is complete and the court system has all your information, they will decide about whether or not you can stay in the country. They may choose to refuse your application if you don’t meet their requirements in full. Irrefutable claims for asylum include your harassment or death should you return to your country.
