General observations In all three regions covered by the report, the asylum interview is the most common method used by the national immigration authorities for identifying VoTs. Of the 18 countries represented in the questionnaire, organisations in 15 countries (83 percent) indicated that national legislation states that VoTs should be identified at the asylum interview. Centres in ten countries (55 percent) indicated that national legislation expects identification through the asylum application form itself, and centres in nine countries (50 percent) indicated that national legislation states that medical screening can be used to identify VoTs to the immigration authority.
