Non-Refoulement Statistics
Dear Immigration Department,
I would like to know the number of non-refoulement claims submitted by people who had originally been issued a Foreign Domestic Helper visa by your Department for each year from 2014 to 2024. I would also like to know how many of these claims have been substantiated.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
Jade Anderson
