Syalat
There is no policy of the national government offering any particular dispensation for exiles seeking to enter Syalat. Most exiles must submit to the same naturalization process as other applicants. However, Syalat's Begana Army has been known to induct exiles, stateless or otherwise, into their ranks. All those who serve in the Begana Army, including exile recruits, are eligible for Syalati citizenship after two years of service. As with other recruits, exiles are granted temporary residency should they be accepted by the Begana recruitment officers for training. The rates of acceptance for volunteers is around 40%, with less than half of those accepted completing the training period to see induction into the Begana Army. The Begana recruitment office is known to accept recruits with some criminal background, typically those who were denied by the armed forces of their natal countries because of a preexisting criminal record. However, they do not accept those who have committed "crimes of blood", generally murderers or sex offenders.
Exiles are a preferred category of recruit for the Begana Army, provided they meet they the standards of the recruiting officers, due to their special status. Like any recruit, an exile who joins the Begana Army can be washed out an any point prior to induction, which will result in the loss of residency and deportation from Syalat. Even after formally gaining Begana status, they can be discharged from service for disciplinary infractions, which likewise results in expulsion from Syalat. Two years of service in the Begana Army grants eligibility for citizenship in Syalat.
