Removal of time limits for reviewing international protection status
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot wijziging van de wet van 15 december 1980 betreffende de toegang, de vestiging, het verblijf en de verwijdering van vreemdelingen met het oog op het schrappen van de termijnen waarbinnen de Dienst Vreemdelingenzaken de opheffing of de intrekking van de beschermingsstatus kan vragen.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The Immigration Office will be able to request the withdrawal or cessation of international protection status at any time, without time limits.
- This affects recognised refugees and beneficiaries of subsidiary protection, particularly if fraud, serious crimes, or safe conditions in the home country come to light.
- As an ordinary citizen, you will not notice any direct daily impact, but protected individuals may have their status re-evaluated and revoked regardless of how many years have passed.
