Reports by the Country Information Service

On this page, you can read more extensive reports and surveys by the Country Information Service on different countries and themes.

The reports of the Country Information Service are overviews on the conditions in asylum seekers’ countries of origin. They are not judicial assessments and do not take a stand on whether persons coming from a certain country can be granted international protection in Finland based on their home region. Even though overviews and reports are published only a few times a year and they do not include all countries of origin, the security situation in the countries of origin is assessed on the basis of up-to-date information when each individual asylum application is decided. You will find the Finnish Immigration Service’s country guidelines among the guidelines for application of law.
