Förderung der Freiwilligen Rückkehr in das Herkunftsland oder Weiterwanderung in ein anderes Land über das REAG/GARP Programm beantragen

There is no legal entitlement to support for voluntary return.

Do you have a foreign citizenship and are you thinking about returning to your country of origin?

If you can no longer or no longer want to stay in Germany and cannot finance your return to your country of origin, you have the opportunity to receive organizational and financial support.
You can get free advice on the subject of voluntary return. The consultation has no influence on your asylum procedure and does not commit you to anything. Thus, you can make the best decision well informed and safe.
You can get advice both in person at an advice center and online.

• You can find counseling centers in your area under the link below. An interpreter will always be present.
• You can also seek advice online. In this way, counseling is also possible directly in your native language. Select your country of origin on the page below to get contact information for online counseling.

If you decide to return to your home country, your personal counselor will be happy to help you organize and plan your return. Depending on your nationality, you may be eligible for other cash and in-kind benefits (travel and transportation expenses, travel grants, additional medical expenses, start-up assistance). In some countries of origin, there are also reintegration projects that support you in building up a new existence on site, depending on your personal needs. You will get information about this during the counseling and also under the link below.

No documents are required for the initial consultation. You will find out which documents will be required in the course of the consultation at your consultation appointment.

There are no special requirements for the counseling. Counseling is possible, for example, even if you have not yet applied for asylum.
The prerequisite for financial support is one of the following:

• You are in the asylum procedure.
• Your asylum application has been rejected and you are obliged to leave the country.
• You are entitled to asylum or have a toleration permit.

You have been granted residence for reasons of international law, humanitarian or political reasons.
