During return counselling, we will discuss your situation together and explore your future prospects.
Together, we will plan your return, obtain your travel documents, and book your flight, train, or bus ticket.
Upon request, we will assist you with the necessary steps on your day of departure and accompany you to the point of departure – or, if needed, all the way to your country of origin.
If you do not have sufficient funds for your return, your travel costs will be covered. This also applies to special additional costs, for example, if you have a specific medical need upon return.
Upon your departure, you will receive a cash payment of up to € 900 as initial financial assistance.
After your return, you can also participate in a reintegration programme. This programme facilitates your new start in your home country through financial and in-kind assistance.
Reintegration – A New Start With Perspective
The French Office for Immigration and Integration (L ’Office Français de l'Immigration et de l'Intégration, OFII) supports you with reintegration.
How are you supported after your return?
You receive counselling and in-kind support worth € 3,000 through a local partner organization. This assistance can be used for:
Temporary accommodation
Medical and social assistance
Counselling on administrative and legal matters
Implementation of a business idea (e.g., starting a small business)
Financing school education
Vocational training or further education
