Menekültstátuszú

Menekültstátuszú is a Hungarian term that translates to "refugee status holder" or "someone with refugee status." It refers to an individual who has been granted asylum in Hungary under the provisions of the Geneva Convention and Hungarian law. This status is distinct from other forms of international protection, such as subsidiary protection or tolerated stay.

To be granted refugee status, an applicant must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution in their country of origin based on race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion. The Hungarian immigration authority is responsible for assessing asylum claims.

Individuals holding refugee status are entitled to certain rights and protections in Hungary. These typically include the right to reside in the country, access to the labor market, education, healthcare, and social welfare services. They are also generally protected from being returned to their country of origin if they face a risk of persecution.

The process of applying for and obtaining refugee status can be complex and lengthy, involving interviews and the submission of evidence. Hungary, like other European Union member states, adheres to the Common European Asylum System, which provides a framework for asylum procedures and rights across the EU. The term "menekültstátuszú" specifically denotes the successful outcome of this process, recognizing an individual as a refugee.
