Claiming Asylum Process

You must apply for asylum from within the UK or at the UK border, applications are usually made with an online tool.

It is important to submit your application for asylum as soon as you realise you cannot return to your home country.

It usually takes about six months before a decision on whether to grant asylum to you is made by the Home Office.

However, it can take longer if documents need to be verified or more information is needed.
