↝ Humanitarian admission

Humanitarian admission is the process by which countries admit groups from refugee populations in third countries to provide temporary protection on humanitarian grounds.

Humanitarian Admission Programmes are often used as an expedited process to enable large numbers of people in refugee circumstances to depart quickly to a safe receiving country.

Generally, people entering a country via a humanitarian admission program do not have their refugee status determined before arrival. Rather, they apply for asylum when they arrive in their destination country.
