The Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) announced that based on the most recent country report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has been established that the security situation in Yemen has improved but is still fragile, the humanitarian situation is still bad, and that it will take the personal situation into consideration in the individual assessment”.
IND statement added that it has been stipulated in the new policy that, at present, not everyone in Yemen is not running such a high risk of becoming a victim of random violence that this reason alone will result in asylum status. “And because of this policy adjustment, IND is going to assess individually what the risks are in each asylum process.
Yemenite persons, IND confirmed, with asylum status who have asylum residence permits will retain their status. In general the IND is not going to reassess asylum residence permits granted.
