Austria: Syrians top asylum requests for 2026
New statistics in Austria indicate that Syrians topped the list of asylum requests during the first nine months of 2026, despite a significant decrease in the number of new arrivals. Syrians submitted 1,941 asylum applications, even though only 256 people had recently arrived. The majority of the requests come from individuals already present in the country, including children born there. About one-third of the applications that were processed were granted refugee status. The total number of asylum requests since the beginning of the year reached 7,397, representing a 45% decline compared to the same period in 2025. Additionally, around 12,000 people had left the country by the end of September. The data suggests the potential for the lowest levels of asylum requests in years, amid continued declines in new arrivals.
