Hungary > Overview
For many
refugees and migrants Hungary
is a transit country to Central and Northern Europe.
Crossing the border (in the east via Ukraine,
in the south from Greece via
Serbia)
a serious risk of illegal push-back (“refoulement”) is given, even if a person
applies for asylum. A high percentage tries to continue the journey after
having been registered. Many are later deported back to Hungary under
the Dublin Regulation. In fact, the recognition rates for single groups (in
particular Somalis) tend to be high in comparison to other European countries.
This is, however, contrasted by the harsh social conditions.

Officially, there are no limits for the return of refugees to Greece. In several cases, however, a high court suspended such deportations and ordered Hungary to carry out the refugee status determination procedure, mostly in the case of families with small children, single women and unaccompanied minors. Adult males’ applications are generally refuted and people are deported to Greece. As the time frame to contest the decision on the transfer is only three days, you should seek legal assistance from lawyers of the refugee assisting NGO, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee.
