The Palestinian refugees in the European countries face many obstacles and problems. The refugees believe that all their problems will be resolved after they arrive in these countries. However, they soon encounter the real obstacles, the most prominent of which is the problem of waiting long for a possible issuance of their residency permits in these countries. These waiting periods may reach one year. The most difficult obstacle is the delay in family reunification. In some countries it may take up to a year and a half, which makes the people and refugees in poor psychological conditions, especially in the case of the people being in dangerous areas, in addition to the economic burden that come as a result.
The difficulties faced by the families residing in Syria while reaching the European embassies in Lebanon or Turkey are problematic, because of the denial of entry to Turkey and Lebanon. In addition, the Palestinian refugees in the European countries are suffering from the absence of a representative body of them to which they can refer to for their problems and procedures, and to familiarize them with the nature of the societies they have moved to. They have difficulties with languages and finding a house because many of the Palestinian refugees move to Europe. In the meantime, the refugees also suffer from the high costs of transportation and poor communication between them as a result of the distance between the cities.
It should be noted that previous obstacles may not face all refugees and are not the only ones facing others.
