Start Skeiv Kafe where you live!

With the project "Local activity groups Skeiv Verden" and support from IMDI, you have the opportunity to start an activity group and hold a queer café where we do not have local chapters. If you are interested in creating safe social meeting places for queer people with a minority background and have the opportunity to actively contribute to making this happen, you can join as a volunteer in an activity group in Queer World.

Can you help me apply for asylum in Norway?

We are not able to support you directly, but we have collected some information and resources that might be of help:

Contact the LGBTQA+ organisation in your country. And if you don't know it, you can check the ILGA directory for more information: https://ilga.org/member-organisations

Contact the programme of the United Nations for Refugees and Asylum Seekers: https://www.unhcr.org

Asking for asylum in Norway: Please check the information in this website - for the norwegian immigration authorities - if you are planning to seek asylum here: https://www.udi.no/en/want-to-apply/protection-asylum/protection-asylum-in-norway/?resetguide=1

Asking for asylum in Norway, after entering another EU country: Also, if your plan is to come to Norway after entering the EU Schengen Area and having your passport stamped, please keep in mind that your entry could be subject to the Dublin Convention and therefore demanded to ask for asylum in your first point of entry in the EU. You can read more about it here: https://www.udi.no/en/word-definitions/cooperation-under-the-dublin-regulation/

We hope these remarks will make your journey safer, since this is our main priority in these times: knowing that you get in contact with the right people and get the proper advice, so you do not expose yourself unnecessarily to danger or harm Thank you again for your trust and we hope you find safety soon.
