Abstract

The applicant is a self-proclaimed minor, 16 years old, who arrived to Belgium and tried to submit an asylum application and obtain material reception for four days. On 8 December 2021, he sent an e-mail to the Immigration Office to register his application, and to Fedasil, to be granted material reception. Neither authorities replied to these messages.


The tribunal noted that it seems from these facts that the application has not yet been registered, and the status of asylum applicant is not established, while this is a pre-condition to request material reception. There seemed to be also no evidence to suggest, that it is impossible to submit an asylum application and the applicant has not requested the court to order the Immigration Officer to register the application. The request focused merely on the establishment of reception rights and the tribunal rejected the request.
