	<p><strong>Are you at an airport, seaport or international train station?</strong></p><p>If you intend to claim asylum, it is
		important that you do so as soon as possible when you enter the United Kingdom. If you have fled persecution and need protection,
		then you must ask to see an immigration officer. When you speak to the immigration officer, you will need to confirm that
		you are claiming asylum in the United Kingdom because you are at risk of harm in your country.</p>
	<p><strong>Are you already in the United Kingdom?</strong></p><p>If you want to claim asylum and you are already in the UK, you
		must book an appointment to attend the asylum intake unit in Croydon (South-East London). You must attend with any dependants
		(such as a partner, or children under 18 years old) who form part of your asylum claim. It is important that you make
		a claim for asylum as soon as possible after your arrival in the United Kingdom, or as soon as you have found out that
		your circumstances have changed and that you now require international protection. Please note that the Home Office will
		not pay for your travel to Croydon.In addition to the appointment system, the asylum intake unit will assess applicants
		who attend via the walk-in service. However, there is no guarantee that your application will be dealt with on the same
		day. You may be advised to make an appointment for your application to be processed on another day.</p>
	<p><strong>Appointment line for the asylum intake unit:</strong> 020 8196 4524</p><p><strong>Opening times:</strong> Monday to
		Thursday 9am to 4:45pm and Friday 9am to 4:30pm</p><p><strong>Address: </strong>Lunar House, 40 Wellesley Road, Croydon CR9
		2BY<br>If you need to change or cancel your appointment, please call as soon as possible on 020 8196 4524.</p>
	<p><strong>Scotland</strong></p><p>If you are vulnerable and are in Scotland, you may be allowed to have your screening interview
		in Glasgow. This, however, is at the discretion of the Home Office and is decided on a case by case basis.</p>
	<p>Local screening is usually utilised for the categories below:</p>
	<ul>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Minors (unaccompanied asylum-seeking children)</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Potential victims of human trafficking</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Families that have been resident in Scotland, often on visas, who now wish to claim asylum</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Families that travel into the UK from abroad, land in Scotland and seek asylum once clear of the port, rather than having
			made a claim on arrival</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Vulnerable clients with serious medical conditions (which restrict travel capabilities) with medical evidence such as GP/consultant
			letter</li>
	</ul>
	<p><strong>Wales</strong></p><p>A welfare assessment will be completed for all vulnerable service users who present at the Home
		Office wishing to claim asylum. Decision will be made to screen locally if the claimant is unable to travel to London.
		Asylum seekers screened locally will be signposted to Migrant Help for further support.</p>
	<p><strong>Northern Ireland</strong></p><p>In Northern Ireland, to claim asylum, you must present yourself to Bryson Intercultural
		and the staff there will request a screening interview with the Home Office on your behalf.</p>
