Summary
Germany has sharply increased its reviews of protection granted to Syrian refugees following the fall of the Assad regime. In the first half of 2026, 23.2% of 8,320 reviewed cases resulted in the loss of protection, compared with 3.7% in 2025. The rejection rate for new Syrian asylum applications has reached 68.6%.

Losing protection does not automatically lead to deportation: Germany deported only three people to Syria in the first half of 2026. Security and housing conditions in Syria remain fragile, while a loss of status could affect refugees’ work, family reunification and plans for permanent residence.
