MAP (Migration to Asia Peace) is a nonprofit refugee human rights organization that supports the protection of refugees’ rights and their social adjustment while living in Korea. This notice is about a temporary pause on accepting new cases.
What Is Being Paused
We are currently receiving a very high volume of support requests, which makes it difficult to provide a sufficient level of help to the people already waiting. For this reason, MAP is temporarily pausing new case intake for two months, February and March.
During this period, we will focus the full capacity of our team on the cases already received, so that those who are waiting can get faster, more meaningful support.
A Note for People Who Have Already Applied
Every request submitted through our form is being reviewed with care. We promise to get in touch with you as soon as possible, and we appreciate your patience.
When Intake Will Resume and How to Stay Updated
MAP will reassess its capacity at the end of March and decide at that point whether to reopen intake for new cases. Any updates will be announced on the official website.
