UNHCR in Armenia receives no resettlement quota due to the decreasing number of slots globally. UNHCR efforts are focused on strengthening the national system of international protection and assisting refugees to have access to and finding international protection in Armenia.
Accordingly, UNHCR supports initiatives and dedicates resources assisting asylum-seekers and refugees in the area of self-reliance and local integration in Armenia. Resettlement may be invoked only exceptionally as a protection tool for persons facing serious protection risks that cannot be addressed in Armenia. UNHCR will identify potential cases for resettlement consideration directly. Identification does not depend on an application by potential candidates. UNHCR has full information about legal and social situation of asylum-seekers and refugees who receive legal and social assistance from the UNHCR implementing partner organizations in Armenia. If your case is selected for resettlement consideration, UNHCR will contact you.
