Asylum is international protection for foreign nationals fleeing their country due to persecution based on factors like race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion.

Seeking asylum involves applying for refugee recognition and protection, granted when return poses persecution risk.

Countries have specific procedures; successful applicants get asylum status, allowing stay and potential residency or citizenship.

It should be noted that asylum processes vary between countries, with legal definitions subject to host country laws.
