emergency rescue visa (H4045)

As part of its humanitarian and international responsibility, United for Humanity offers a special program titled the Emergency Rescue Visa (Code H4045). This visa is intended for individuals facing immediate threats to life, physical safety, or freedom, and whose governments are either unable or unwilling to ensure their protection.

1. Immediate Threat to Life or Physical Safety

Priority is given to individuals who are facing direct and urgent threats, including:

• Armed attacks or targeted violence

• Threats from extremist, military, or mafia groups

• Severe domestic, tribal, or ethnic violence

2. Lack of Effective Government Protection

Applicants qualify if:

• Their home government is unable to protect them from the threats mentioned above

• They are themselves victims of persecution by state officials or security forces

• They have no access to fair and effective legal recourse

3. Victims of Human Rights or Free Speech Suppression

Human rights defenders, journalists, political activists, and advocates for women’s or minority rights who face threats, persecution, or attacks due to their work may apply for this visa.

4. Survivors of Hostage Situations or Human Trafficking

Individuals recently freed from situations such as modern slavery, forced labor, sexual exploitation, or human trafficking, and who remain at risk from the perpetrators, are eligible for special protection.

Required Documentation

• Identity and residence documents in the secondary country

• Security or legal reports from credible national or international bodies

• Medical or psychological certificates (if physical or mental harm has occurred)

• Documented evidence of threats received (messages, images, court orders, official documents)
