Need legal advice?

The European Network on Statelessness cannot provide legal advice to stateless people directly, but our members listed below work in different countries across Europe and provide legal advice (either free or paid).

Our members will never report undocumented or stateless people to the authorities. We cannot guarantee that our members listed below will be able to provide you with the support you are looking for, but we encourage you to find an organisation close to you and contact them by phone or email to see if they can help.

To find a relevant organisation, use the drop-down menu below to search by country and click on the link. This will take you directly to their website for contact details. In most cases, our members can only assist people who are currently in the country, or who have a specific question related to that country. You can also contact UNHCR's national office, who may be able to help or refer you to somebody who can.

We also work towards highlighting the regional and international implications of human rights. Our main activities include the identification of priority areas, formulating advocacy strategies and working towards improvement in legal and administrative standards.
