Asylum
Only asylum seekers who are physically present in Sweden may have their grounds considered by the Swedish Migration Board. Sweden's missions abroad are obliged to accept asylum applications, but it should be emphasized that such applications are always rejected by the Swedish Migration Board since the applicant is not physically present in Sweden.
People who are not physically present in Sweden and who would like to apply for asylum should contact the nearest UNHCR office.
