Refugee Appeal Filing

If a refugee applicant receives a notice of non-recognition from the Ministry of Justice, they may seek revocation of the decision through an appeal or administrative review under the Refugee Act within a specified period. A refugee appeal is not a simple submission of opinions — it is a specialized procedure requiring comprehensive arguments on the grounds of persecution in the home country, factual circumstances, evidence, and international refugee law standards. Our office carefully reviews the applicant's situation and provides the following services: - Analysis of the grounds for non-recognition - Legal review based on the Refugee Convention and case law - Drafting of the appeal petition and statement of opinion - Organization and submission of evidence Refugee recognition is determined comprehensively based on the likelihood of persecution, credibility of statements, availability of state protection, and existence of an internal flight alternative. Therefore, if there are facts not adequately presented during the initial review or new evidence has emerged, it is important to actively assert these during the appeal procedure. The Korean refugee review procedure proceeds in the following order: Refugee application → Decision of non-recognition → Appeal (or administrative review) → Administrative litigation. The appeal stage is a critical step for protecting your rights. * Required Documents - Copy of passport - Copy of Alien Registration Card (if any) - Notice of refugee non-recognition decision - Statement of grounds for non-recognition - Other materials supporting your refugee claim * If additional documents are needed, we will contact you individually — please be sure to enter your phone number. * Administrative agent fee: 500,000 KRW * Document attachments (up to 10)
