How to apply for asylum in the UK
Learn about your rights and navigate through asylum procedures with or without legal representation.
Do you want to apply for asylum? Over the last few years, legal aid (free, government-funded legal representation) has suffered with budget cuts all over.
This puts a lot of people at risk because laws and legal procedures can be very complex, and many people might not be able to afford a lawyer.
So, let’s make this simple. In this course, understand what steps you need to take to apply for asylum. While different countries have different asylum laws, this course is a simple step by step process of asylum application.
Even if you have a lawyer, this course can help you understand the asylum procedure.
