Ending your refugee status yourself

You can voluntarily end your status as a recognised refugee. This may be the case, for example, if you feel that there are no longer any reasons to flee your country.

How to end your refugee status?

  • You go in person to the documents service of the CGRS (CGRA/CGVS).
  • You sign a declaration of renunciation.
  • You receive a 'certificate of termination of status'.
