Refusal – what happens then?

Refusal means that you have had your application for asylum refused. You cannot stay in Sweden.

Meeting about refusal decision


You and your custodian will be called to a meeting at the Swedish Migration Board if your asylum application has been refused. During the meeting you will receive help understanding the content of the decision. Whether you appeal the decision or not, you will be summoned to the Swedish
Migration Board to talk about your situation and your thoughts about the future.

If I want to accept the decision – what do I do then?


Then you can say that you accept the decision. This is called declaration of acceptance and means
that you don´t want to appeal the decision. You cannot take back a declaration of acceptance.

Can I appeal a refusal?


You and your custodian can appeal the decision if they think that your situation has not been assessed correctly, if you have something to add or if something important has been missed. You and your custodian will then appeal the decision in a Migration Court.

What does appeal mean?


Appeal means that you and your custodian write to an authority or court to say that you don´t agree with what the authority or court has decided. You want the authority or court to change the decision.
