The asylum application of a foreign national placed or held in detention is inadmissible if it is made more than five days after the foreign national has been notified of his or her asylum rights under the conditions set out in article L. 744-6. However, this inadmissibility may not be invoked against a foreign national who, in support of his application, invokes facts that occurred after the expiry of this time limit.
The administrative authority may invoke the inadmissibility of the asylum application if this application was submitted by a foreign national, coming from a country considered to be a safe country of origin pursuant to article L. 531-25, beyond the first five days of detention with the sole aim of thwarting the effective and imminent enforcement of the removal decision.
