Does Singapore accept refugees or asylum seekers?

Updated by MHA
Singapore is not in a position to accept any persons seeking political asylum or refugee status, given our constraints as a small city state. Nonetheless, we will assist and ensure the safe departure of such persons to a third country by coordinating with organisations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), where appropriate. Singapore respects the principle of non-refoulement under customary international law.
