Documents for appeal

Have you received a negative asylum decision from the State Secretariat for Migration? If you are unable to arrange legal representation, the Swiss Refugee Council provides appeal templates and instructions in several languages.

If you are involved in a Dublin procedure and have been placed in administrative detention, you can apply to have the legality of your detention reviewed. Below, you will find a template for this purpose that you can fill out and submit to the prison.

If you need advice or wish to write an appeal after a negative asylum decision, please contact lawyers or legal advice offices in your vicinity immediately.
