The Hungarian legal border closure was tightened by the Parliament Tuesday.
Members of Parliament voted in favour of the decision in vast majority to supplement the current asylum legislation with procedural rules.
As an effect, asylum requests can only be submitted before the asylum authority in person, solely in the transit zone by the border, and asylum-seekers are required to await the assessment of their applications on a final and absolute basis in the transit zone. During the state of crisis, asylum-seekers may only leave this place in the outward direction.
The legislation lays down, asylum-seekers must leave the transit zone after the communication of the decision which can no longer be appealed against.
