A draft bill by Greece’s Migration & Asylum Ministry that speeds up the process of asylum review was posted for public consultation on Friday and until April 24, according to ANA.
The bill features five basic topics of legislative amendments and initiatives: accelerating asylum application reviews; creating closed facilities for migrants on the islands; transferring the jurisdiction for unaccompanied migrant children to the special secretariat of Protection of Unaccompanied Minors; introducing information technology at various stages of the asylum process; and various structural interventions in the ministry structure, and updating the Migration Code (including the Golden Visa program, of investments in exchange for residence permits).
