Despite the saturation of the reception network and the health crisis, 964 refugees could be resettled in Belgium last year.

The arrival centre of Fedasil (Brussels) will be closed on Friday 31 December 2021.

Fedasil opens new reception centres to provide shelter for all asylum seekers.

Fedasil is faced with the saturation of its reception network for asylum seekers.

More than 24,000 applicants for international protection (asylum) are being received by Fedasil and its partners in Belgium. For the most part these are people who have fled the conflicts in Afghanistan, Palestine or Syria.

In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, Fedasil has observed a 40% drop in arrivals in the reception facilities in 2020.

The first phase of Reach Out, a project aimed at informing migrants, concluded this week with a webinar. The importance of exchanging good practices was underlined.

2021's first group of refugees arrived today as part of the resettlement programme.

Our information platform for asylum seekers in Belgium is now available in 2 additional languages: Portuguese (of Brazil) and German.

Coronavirus meant that 2020 was marked by a drop in arrivals in the reception network for asylum seekers, and that the organisation of voluntary returns was disrupted.
