DRBeratungsstelle

The DR Advisory Centre for the Tamil Diaspora in Switzerland is a politically neutral, nonprofit association established on January 15, 2018. It was founded to advise and support people with a migration background, asylum seekers, and victims of crime. The centre aims to help migrants and asylum seekers living in Switzerland access independent, competent guidance and legal representation.

Its services include legal advice and representation in several areas, particularly asylum law, social assistance law, and victim support. The organisation offers an initial consultation on a donation basis; this meeting is not free, and clients choose an amount according to their means and the value they place on the advice. In-person consultation hours are Wednesday and Friday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The centre is also reachable by phone Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. Based in Thun, the DR Advisory Centre supports the Tamil diaspora and others seeking guidance on migration-related and legal concerns.
