It may depend on when you got your status and the changed that have occured in your homeland since.

If it's safe to travel back, why should you be accepted as a refugee? And if it's not safe to travel back, then don't travel back?

I suggest @gnasher729's pithy comment be turned into an answer.

To be fair, President Bush likely wouldn't be safe in Iraq either, but a surprise visit was safe. One might argue that an unannounced quick visit could be safe. OTOH, a funeral is precisely the sort of event where state security forces might expect visitors, so don't read this as a recommendation.

You are not the first I have heard about wanting to go back for a shorter stay. Out of curiosity: Can you elaborate on why you consider it safe to go for the funeral, but not safe to stay there for good?

@AlexanderScholz : not at all. If some politicians criticize a country at the border of the EU for the fact that they perform border checks at all (instead of urging it to process more people), it is a clear statement that they wish to accept applicants without much, if any, background checks.

@gnasher729 Because “travelling” ≠ “living permanently”.

I have seen the exact case you describe happen to someone when I was waiting at Canada's customs. The person had a disability, a refugee status from Algeria and went back for a funeral. The custom officer revoked the status on the spot and no amount of "negotiating" could convince him otherwise. His rationale was: "I you fear for your life in a country, you don't go in that country. Period.". I wouldn't try it.

While the comments below are probably correct. I did read that there are rare exceptions (in Germany). A very close relative dying might qualify. Basically when it is believable that you would risk torture for it. But I don't have sources. Maybe make an anonymous call to the local refugee department and ask?

Seriously: Ask a (specialized) lawyer.

Much depends on your status. If your application is not through, you may have to start from scratch upon return. If your application was already granted, it may or may not be revoked, depending on whether the authorities think you had a "good" reason to return. Ask a lawyer or an aid organization (Arbeiterwohlfahrt, Caritas).

So you have been granted both German and Swedish asylum: travel.stackexchange.com/q/105919/56179 ?

@gnasher729 Please make this into an answer!

@gnasher729: there are some reasons that people may risk their safety for: maybe the OP feels he has a duty of visiting home to pay homage to the defunct or has to make sure the defunct has a proper funeral or take care of the defunct's relative, etc. Also, he may estimate that he is not as much as in danger during a quick trip, compared to living permanently in his country. The reasons are his anyway...

@AdamMichalik just above has hit the nail on the head. The whole poster and set of questions is just bogus, and simply has nothing to do with "travel". It's more like political clickbait - or something oddball.

"international asylum law" just has absolutely no connection, at all, to this web site.
