Refugee resettlement abroad (UNHCR)

Department of Refugee Services with UNHCR · sources read 5 Oct 2026

You can't apply for resettlement. UNHCR picks the most vulnerable recognised refugees itself and invites them for an interview by SMS. It is free at every step, so never pay anyone who promises to get you resettled.

Fee

We couldn't confirm a fee from the official page. Check it there before you pay.

Where

No application: UNHCR identifies cases. For questions, call the UNHCR helpline 1517 (toll free) or visit the UNHCR field post in Kakuma or Dadaab.
