Applications for S status permits by Ukrainians also fell by nearly a quarter.<\/p>\n
In total, 12,897 applications for S status were submitted, which is 22.4% fewer than in 2024. This special status must be maintained at least until March 4, 2027, unless the situation in Ukraine stabilises permanently by then.<\/p>\n
The number of asylum applications in Switzerland has been falling since 2024 following a post-Covid peak. The number of people fleeing their homes or displaced is also falling worldwide. For the first time since 2016, this figure fell by 5% in 2025.<\/p>\n
