Last year, 3,122 persons decided to return voluntarily to their country of origin, including 219 Syrians.

Fedasil recorded a slight decrease in arrivals of asylum seekers last year. However, the reception network remains under pressure.

What gives us hope? Well, the 1,900 volunteers who make a difference every day in our reception centres. 

Fedasil can temporarily make use of various sites to accommodate asylum seekers.

The year 2024 was once again marked by the saturation of our reception network, despite a record capacity.

The Fedasil Info Point in Brussels has welcomed more than 22.000 visitors, mainly single men with an ongoing asylum procedure.

On 19 September, Fedasil kicked off Re\turn, an exhibition of photographs by Carl De Keyzer in Ghent.
