Thank you for your message. We would like to emphasize that the issuance of a humanitarian visa requires the approval of the competent authorities in Switzerland. It may be approved only in specific individual cases and circumstances confirming the assumption of severe threat to one’s life and body and hence an immediate need for protection nowhere else to be found. If the person is currently residing in a safe third Country, like in this case, the Swiss authorities generally considers that the person is not under threat anymore. Regards.
