Yes. Cost for rejected asylum seekers that occur until their application is rejected is regarded as ODA. An exemption from this is cost for applicants from safe countries of origin, where all associated cost is excluded from ODA. <br />Basic human rights are generally respected in the states on this list and cases of applicants for international protection, who are nationals of these countries, are usually given priority by the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration. Iceland receives many applications for asylum from countries that are categorised as safe countries. The Icelandic Directorate of Immigration publishes a list of safe countries on their website. http://www.utl.is/index.php/en/list-of-safe-countries<br />Citizens of these states, who apply for protection in Iceland, are generally not granted protection; instead, they are returned to their state of origin. In our current situation, close to a 100% of applicants from safe countries are rejected. Iceland has therefore decided to remove the cost for the application process entirely from ODA calculations. <br />An applicant for international protection shall leave the country when he/she has received a final rejection of his/her application or he/she has withdrawn his/her application and does not have an alternative legal right to reside in Iceland. An applicant is generally granted a period of voluntary departure. The granted deadline is stated in the return decision of the Immigration Authorities. If a period for voluntary departure is not granted in the return decision or the applicant does not depart voluntarily within the granted period, the return will be operated by the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police.<br />All cost regarding rejected applications is excluded in ODA after a negative decision is known.<br />- Rejected in general substantive procedure (excluding citizens of safe countries of origin): 135 (Number of applications 2018); 220 (Average processing time)<br />- Rejected in Dublin procedure: 152 (Number of applications 2018); 115 (Average processing time 2018)<br />- Rejected due to protection in another state: 70 (Number of applications 2018); 128 (Average processing time 2018)
