Recently, a considerable number of foreign nationals have contacted the LSA Law Firm seeking legal assistance with obtaining asylum in the Republic of Armenia. The number of citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine is particularly high due to the armed conflict between the two countries, as well as a number of other circumstances.
All persons who contact the LSA Law Firm receive the necessary legal advice. Our lawyers accompany individuals seeking refugee status to the Migration and Citizenship Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, participate in interviews conducted with asylum seekers, and submit the necessary legal arguments, supporting materials, and motions.
Where an application for asylum is rejected, our lawyers also represent the applicant’s interests in proceedings challenging the decision of the Service before the Administrative Court of the Republic of Armenia.
However, we frequently encounter situations in which asylum seekers consult a lawyer too late, namely after their application has already been rejected. It later becomes apparent that there were significant arguments and items of evidence that should have been presented to the authority reviewing the application and that, had they been duly submitted, the application would, with a high degree of probability, not have been rejected.
Considering the extensive experience of our firm’s lawyers in this field and the successful outcomes they have achieved, we believe it is important to emphasize that the examination of an asylum application is a procedure clearly regulated by the legislation of the Republic of Armenia. From the very first stage of the process, it is essential to present a legally substantiated and well-reasoned position and request.
To prevent such situations, the lawyers of the LSA Law Firm are prepared to provide legal advice to citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine who intend to apply for asylum in the Republic of Armenia.
The legal assistance provided by our specialists will enable applicants to participate in the process from a stronger, better-substantiated, and more persuasive legal position, which is one of the primary prerequisites for achieving a successful outcome.
