At Hermes Legal, we understand that applying for asylum in the UK is not just a legal process it’s a deeply personal and often emotional journey. Our dedicated team is here to support individuals fleeing persecution, war, or serious human rights violations with expert legal advice, compassion, and unwavering confidentiality.
Applying for asylum in the UK can be overwhelming, especially for those unfamiliar with the legal system or who are still coping with the trauma of persecution or displacement. At Hermes Legal, we strive to make this process clearer, more approachable, and legally sound.
When you apply for asylum, you are asking the UK government to recognize your need for protection and grant you the right to remain in the country legally. The process is managed by the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) department and involves interviews, documentation, and, in many cases, appeals.
To qualify for asylum, you must show that returning to your country would place you at real risk of serious harm, either by state actors or groups the state cannot control. This harm might include imprisonment, violence, discrimination, or even threats to your life or freedom.
It’s important to seek legal advice as early as possible, especially before attending your screening interview the first official step in your application. Mistakes or omissions at this stage can have long-lasting consequences, and many claims are refused simply due to lack of clarity or evidence.
At Hermes Legal, we help clients from all over the world, including survivors of torture, conflict, gender-based violence, and political oppression. Our legal team brings cultural sensitivity and professionalism to every case, no matter how complex.
