A minor or an unaccompanied minor who is granted with a refugee status or an alternative status must be granted with the following rights:

- According to the Asylum Law, an unaccompanied minor shall be accommodated at an accommodation centre for asylum seekers, with a guardian appointed by the Orphan’s Court or at a child care institution. A decision regarding accommodation of an unaccompanied minor at an accommodation centre for asylum seekers, with a guardian or in a child care institution shall be taken by the Orphan’s Court, upon clarifying the opinion of the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs, taking into account the interests and opinion of the minor in accordance with the age and maturity thereof and observing the following conditions: 1) an unaccompanied minor shall be accommodated together with adult relatives; 2) children from one family shall not be separated, except in cases where it is done in the best interests of the children; and

3) the place of accommodation of an unaccompanied minor shall only be changed if it conforms with the interests of this person.

A minor unaccompanied refugee who is not married has the right to take in his or her mother and father who have arrived from a foreign country.

According to Law on Protection of the Rights of the Child, the child shall receive protection and assistance irrespective of whether the child is accompanied by parents or other adults or alone. The Orphan’s Court together with the local government’s social service and immigration institutions shall carry out measures to locate the parents of a child and to determine what are the possibilities for the child to return to his or her family. If it is not possible to find the parents, a child shall be provided with the same care as any other child who has been left without parental care.
