Where can I find help with legal questions about my asylum application?

In addition to their general refugee helpline, Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen also has a specific telephone number for legal questions: 02 205 00 55. You can call them every weekday from 9.00 to 12.30 and on Wednesdays also from 13.30 to 17.00.

 

The asylum procedure is complex. The services above can support you in this matter. In addition, a lawyer can help you to avoid mistakes in the process. In theory, every asylum seeker has the right to obtain legal advice. In reality there are, unfortunately, long waiting lists for these services.

 

Do you want to search for a lawyer yourself? You can find lawyers listed on the website advocaat.be (dutch). You can specifically search for a lawyer who specializes in 'immigration law and asylum' (thema: asiel rechten, asielaanvraag, immigratie, vreemdelingenrecht).
