Article L351-3 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

When the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons, as part of the examination to determine whether the asylum application is not inadmissible or manifestly unfounded, considers that the asylum seeker, in particular because of his/her minority or the fact that he/she has been the victim of torture, rape or another serious form of psychological, physical or sexual violence, requires special procedural guarantees that are not compatible with his/her presence in the waiting area, the application is terminated. The foreign national is then issued with an eight-day regularisation visa. Within this period, the competent administrative authority will issue him/her, at his/her request, with an asylum application certificate enabling him/her to lodge this application with the Office.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L351-3


Lorsque l’Office français de protection des réfugiés et apatrides, dans le cadre de l’examen tendant à déterminer si la demande d’asile n’est pas irrecevable ou manifestement infondée, considère que le demandeur d’asile, notamment en raison de sa minorité ou du fait qu’il a été victime de torture, de viol ou d’une autre forme grave de violence psychologique, physique ou sexuelle, nécessite des garanties procédurales particulières qui ne sont pas compatibles avec sa présence en zone d’attente, il y est mis fin. L’étranger est alors muni d’un visa de régularisation de huit jours. Dans ce délai, l’autorité administrative compétente lui délivre, à sa demande, une attestation de demande d’asile lui permettant d’introduire cette demande auprès de l’office.
