Step 1
According to the Geneva Convention and the New York Protocol, a person can receive refugee status if his freedom, life and health are threatened in his homeland for racial, religious, social or political reasons. At the same time, education, language proficiency, health, etc. does not matter. Criminal and economic reasons will not be considered. Therefore, even before leaving for another country, prepare all the necessary documents - collecting additional certificates while abroad will be problematic.
Step 2
If you can documentarily prove a threat to your safety, be sure to collect these materials. They will come in handy when you apply for asylum, because the host country will in any case check if you have a good reason to immigrate.
Step 3
Save up a certain amount for living in a new country for the first time. Housing and some benefits are not immediately available, and your case can take months to years. In addition, not all countries provide a free lawyer to resolve the issue of refugee status. Therefore, if you do not have a legal education and do not speak the language perfectly, raise funds for a lawyer.
Step 4
Get a visa to enter the country of your interest. This entry must be legal. In some states, on the basis of legislation, you may be denied asylum if you have obtained a visa for one country and you want to take refuge in another. Therefore, think carefully about the entry visa issue.
Step 5
Each country granting political asylum has its own peculiarities in the legislation, so your next steps depend on where you plan to go. The most loyal migration policy in Canada and Australia. The situation is a little more complicated in England, Belgium, Holland, France. Legislation on this issue is regularly tightened in the Scandinavian countries. Therefore, make sure you have up-to-date information on the rules for entry and asylum in a particular country.
