About this data
Asylum-seekers are individuals who have sought international protection and whose claims for refugee status have not yet been determined.

In specific contexts, asylum-seekers may also include those who are seeking protection under complementary forms of protection, and those enjoying temporary protection, but whose claims are still under consideration.
