This country is an excellent option for asylum – refugees can get all kinds of help. True, the authorities will take a long time to consider the application of a foreigner for obtaining refugee status. Which complicates the employment process.

Refugees are entitled to the following living conditions:

  • You can visit courses outside the camp of residence to gain new qualifications;
  • Children of refugees are enrolled in school;
  • Receiving benefits.
