The Ministry of the Interior has set up a project to improve the efficiency of asylum procedures, bringing together key administrative branches and actors, said the Ministry of the Interior in a press release on Monday.
In the project, the asylum application process will be examined from the registration stage up to when applicants who have received a favourable decision move from the reception system to a municipality or applicants who have received a negative decision are removed from the country.
The aim is to make the processing time of asylum applications shorter, while also achieving cost savings, said the ministry.
It will make the asylum system more efficient and streamlining voluntary and forced returns of those whose application has been rejected.
The results of the project will help enhance the planning of the reception network and reception capacity.
Led by the Ministry of the Interior, the ministry requested the Ministry of Justice, the Finnish Border Guard, the National Police Board of Finland, the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service, the Finnish Immigration Service, the National Legal Services Authority, the National Courts Administration and the Office of the Non-Discrimination Ombudsman to send names of their representatives for the project.
The project will run until 28 February 2027.
