Specific procedures

The closure procedure

The closure procedure applies if you withdraw your asylum application.

Closure is also an option offered to Ofpra, which thus retains freedom of assessment in view of individual situations and protection needs, if you are in any of the following cases:

• You have submitted your asylum application after the indicated timeframes ;

• You refuse to cooperate ;

• You did not come to the interview and did not provide any kind of justification ;

• You did not communicate a valid mailing address ;

• you have abandoned, without legitimate reason, the place where you were accommodated proposed by OFII in application of article L. 552-8 du CESEDA.
