A strategy for the reception of asylum seekers and irregular migrants is being published by the Ministry for Home Affairs and National Security, following a period of public consultation.

The document provides for a system for the initial reception of recently arrived migrants, as well as for initiatives relating to detention and open centre accommodation. It meets the Government’s pledge not to detain minors and vulnerable persons. The Ministry will now be working towards implementation, addressing the re-organisation of Malta’s reception systems, and strengthening procedures that identify those who are in clear need of international protection.
