Submitted by migration_user_1 on Mon, 08/23/2021 - 08:01

The objective of the Dublin III Regulation is to ensure quick access to the asylum procedures and the examination of an application on the merits by a single, clearly determined Member-State of Europe. The Regulation establishes the Member-State responsible for the examination of the asylum application.

The criteria for establishing responsibility are, in hierarchical order:

  • family considerations,
  • recent possession of visa or residence permit in a Member-State, and
  • whether the applicant has entered EU irregularly, or regularly.
