Settling in another country of the European Union as a refugee

To settle under protection in another European country, you must write a letter to OFPRA. This letter must be motivated with reasons for the authorization to be issued to you.

For example, a family reunification or obtaining a job in another country of the European Union are reasons which can allow you to obtain the transfer of protection.
