Asylum (menedékjog)

Asylum is a type of protection given by the Hungarian state if you are persecuted in your home country because of racial, religious, ethnic, political reasons or because you belong to a specific social group. You can find more information about the asylum on these links:

How

To start the asylum procedure you have to go to the regional office of the Immigration and Asylum office. You can also indicate your intention to get asylum during any kind of criminal proceedings, or at an international airport or in a transit zone.

In order to protect the unity of the family you can apply for refugee status for your family members at the moment of application. To be considered as a family member you have to be spouse – if the relationship already existed in the country of origin –  minor children and parents of a minor (including adopted and stepchildren).
