The short answer
The
is a complex question , it depends which stage of the process you are
in but if you are in early stages if asylum then yes you can
The long answer
Thank
you for your letter asking if you can extend your asylum from a
different Refugee Reception Office (RRO) than the Durban RRO where you
got your asylum.
We quote advice from a person who has had experience of extending their asylum:
• Go to the same RRO where you got your asylum.
•
Do this a week or two before it expires. If you leave it too close to
expiry they will turn you away. If you go too long before expiry they
will also turn you away.
• You should go early in the morning (e.g.
2am) to have a good chance of being served. The queues are long and they
only take a certain number of people. Try to be in the first 50.
• Most of the people outside who offer you help are scam artists, so be careful.
•
Once you are inside the process should work better. Your asylum papers
will be taken from you. You might then have to wait a long time, but
hopefully before the end of the day the renewed papers will be returned
to you. There might be different queues for men and women. There might
also be days set aside for people of your nationality.
