UNHCR believes that facilitating access to citizenship, particularly for refugees who have been part of Austrian communities for years, further fosters integration, and contributes to social cohesion. https://t.co/3P4tVHpUyp

People who have lost almost everything through war or who have been at the mercy of smugglers should not be subjected to such a treatment https://t.co/SylSJx5no2

There is a big difference between a request to contribute to or provide for food and rent, and the actual confiscation of money through coercive measures https://t.co/A8633HfxV3

UNHCR is particularly worried about the proposed seizure of cash of up to 840 Euros upon arrival in Austria if an asylum-seeker is carrying more than 120 Euros. https://t.co/iNNJ3lRCxJ

Despite Austria’s existing solid asylum system containing safeguards against abuse, a number of the draft amendments are seemingly based on the assumption that people are seeking to abuse the asylum system. This risks negatively impacting public discourse & integration efforts https://t.co/qr4H6yBY4C

UNHCR is concerned about several proposed new regulations, including the seizure of cash and electronic devices of asylum-seekers, and a prolonged waiting period for refugees before they are able to apply for Austrian citizenship. https://t.co/3b1PSKQZ4O
