välismaalase esitatud taotlus enda pagulasena tunnustamiseks või täiendava kaitse saajana tunnustamiseks ja endale rahvusvahelise kaitse saamiseks
an application made by a foreigner or a stateless person which can be understood as a request for protection under the Geneva Convention of 1951 or national refugee law
Eelnõu kohaselt asendatakse 2016. aasta veebruaris kehtima hakkavas välismaalasele rahvusvahelise kaitse andmise seaduse redaktsioonis termin "varjupaigataotlus" terminiga "rahvusvahelise kaitse taotlus". [18.12.2015]
In most Member States this term is understood as a synonym to „application for international protection“ following the adoption of Directive 2011/95/EU (Recast Qualification Directive) and Directive 2013/32/EU (Recast Asylum Procedures Directive). However, UK and IE, which have not adopted the single procedure, continue to use the term ‘application for asylum’ for an application for protection under the Geneva Convention only. In DE the term is still used to include, in addition to the application for international protection according the Qualification Directive, also the application according to the national legislation, Art. 16a Basic Law.
