Seeking help as a transgender individual

What are the steps and resources available for seeking asylum in Germany? Specifically, what are the procedures and requirements for a transgender individual in Iraq who wishes to seek asylum in Germany?

Hello @annik , thank you for writing to us. Unfortunately, asylum can only be claimed once you are already in Germany. It is unfortunately not possible to apply for asylum outside of Germany. Here you can find more information about the asylum procedure: https://handbookgermany.de/en/asylum-procedure There are options of entering Germany through applying for a visa: https://handbookgermany.de/en/immigration Unfortunately this is all the information I can give you at the moment, Best wishes

Hello @annik ,

I wanted to check in and ask if you could find out some helpful information for your situation.

Maybe you are already aware of this, but this is an NGO based in Sweden which offers counselling for queer and trans people from Iraq, also around the topic of asylum.
