UNHCR’s observations to Danish law proposal on increased control in the area of immigration

25 October 2017 Also available in:

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted observations to the Danish government's proposal to amend the Aliens Act (Increased control in the area of immigration).

When a foreigner has lost his Danish travel document more than once within a period of five years, he risks having to live without a Danish travel document for five years. The exclusion will apply unless the foreigner can prove that the loss is due to fire or theft. Only after prior application will a foreigner during the ban period be allowed to make a short trip to, for example, visit close family.

UNHCR's observations are available here.
