As per data published by the MoMA,766 a total of 4,687 subsequent asylum applications – 39 of which concerned UAMs – were registered by the Asylum Service from January 2024 to December 2024. An signisficant increase was noted during 2025 subsequent applications registered being 6.514,767 out of which 37 concerned UAMs. That being said, the aforementioned data does not include information on the type (i.e., first, second or further) of subsequent asylum application registered by the GAS, thus making it impossible to assess the extent to which Article 94(10) Asylum Code, requiring the submission of a € 100 fee for the registration of each second or further subsequent application, was triggered throughout the year (see below: Second and every following subsequent application). Information on the main nationalities of those that submitted subsequent asylum applications during the year is also not included in the specific publications, nor was it provided instead referencing the aforementioned publicly available data, which despite some improvements, is still lacking. The same applies to information regarding the total number of subsequent applications that were considered admissible and referred to be examined on the merits. During 2024 a total of 3,037 subsequent applications were dismissed as inadmissible at first instance and 1,693 at second instance.768 During 2025 3,709 subsequent applications were dismissed as inadmissible at first instance and 1,456 at the second.769 Preliminary examination procedure When a subsequent application is lodged, the competent authorities examine the application in conjunction with the information provided in previous applications.770 Subsequent applications are subject to a preliminary examination, during which the authorities examine whether new substantial elements have arisen or have been presented by the applicant that could not be invoked by the applicant through no fault of their own during the examination of their previous application for international protection or appeal. The preliminary examination of subsequent applications is conducted within five days from their lodging to assess whether new substantial elements have arisen or been submitted by the applicant.771 The examination takes place within two days if the applicant’s right to remain on the territory has been withdrawn.772 During this preliminary stage, all information is provided by the applicant in writing.773 Given the purpose of the procedure, elements or claims related either to the applicant’s personal circumstances or to the situation in the applicant’s country of origin that did not exist during the examination of their previous application should be considered new in light of the first asylum procedure. Elements previously available to the applicant or claims that could have been submitted during the first asylum procedure should be considered new when the applicant provides valid reasoning for not presenting them at that stage. Furthermore, such new elements should be considered to be substantial if they lead to the conclusion that the application is not manifestly unfounded, that is to say, if the applicant does not invoke claims clearly not related to the criteria for refugee status or subsidiary protection. 766 767 768 769 770 771 772 773 MoMA, Statistics, Consolidated Reports - Overview: December 2024 - International Protection | Appendix A, available at: https://tinyurl.com/yvd7454p, tables 7c and 7f.
