Equal Rights Publishes Short Update on Access to Asylum for Undocumented People on the Greek Mainland
Since the new Common European Asylum System (CEAS) became applicable on 12 June 2026, people who reach the Greek mainland on their own have had no working way to apply for asylum. The online booking platform of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum, the only way to get an appointment for screening and registration, answers every request with “No available dates”. In a new short update, Equal Rights Beyond Borders sets out what this means for the people concerned: no papers, no shelter, criminal prosecution, detention and the risk of losing their asylum claim altogether.
