Refugees and asylum seekers
### Refugees and asylum seekers

Switzerland's nationwide asylum granting policy is currently enforced until September 2018, following a renewal in 2014\. The policy requires asylum seekers to provide necessary documents or have a justifiable excuse for not having proper documentation, or risk not being granted asylum. The nation has been active under the Dublin 2 Regulation since 2008, allowing transfers of asylum seekers to and from other states that are signatory to the agreement. Emergency financial support may be gained by asylum seekers, and internal legislation, such as the [Asylum Act](/wiki/Asylum_Act_%28Switzerland%29 "Asylum Act (Switzerland)"), aligns Switzerland with the asylum requirements of the European Return Directive.
