An asylum seeker is a person who has left his/her country of origin and asks for protection by submitting a request for international protection.
Vulnerable groups:
A refugee is an asylum seeker who has been granted refugee status, and therefore protection, by a country. Refugees must comply with the conditions of the Geneva Convention; they must have a well-founded fear of persecution owing to one of the criteria stated in the Geneva Convention: race, nationality, religion, political opinions or membership of a particular social group.

A beneficiary of subsidiary protection status is a person who has been granted subsidiary protection status. This person is a foreigner who does not meet the conditions to be recognised as a refugee, but who runs a real risk of serious harm in case of return to his/her country of origin.
