Since the fall of Bashar Assad's regime in December 2024, the chances for Syrians to obtain full refugee status in Austria have declined, as authorities are now granting them more subsidiary protection instead of full asylum. In the first half of 2026, approximately 3,100 Syrians received subsidiary protection compared to 1,523 who were granted full asylum, reflecting a significant decrease in those with full refugee status. Subsidiary protection is granted to individuals who cannot prove they have faced individual persecution but whose deportation could endanger their lives. It provides them with a one-year residence permit, along with rights to access the labor market and request travel documents. Conversely, those granted full asylum receive a three-year residence permit and face stricter restrictions on family reunification. The family reunification system has also been temporarily suspended until now. The chances of obtaining protection vary depending on the region in Syria, with lower probabilities for individuals arriving from areas with particular risks. Despite the reduced likelihood of asylum, Syria remains among the top countries for asylum applications in Austria. In the first half of 2026, Syrian applications numbered 1,227, with an approval rate of about 32%. The government is also offering financial incentives for voluntary return, providing up to 3,000 euros to Syrians willing to go back.
