Description
The REAG/GARP Program 2023 provides nationwide financial grants for the voluntary return and sustainable reintegration of refugees and migrants. The objective is to support by covering travel and transportation costs as well as supplementary reintegration services in the country of origin. Participants with a completed asylum procedure or tolerated residence status in Germany can submit an application to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) at any time. A prerequisite is proof of voluntary return intention as well as timely application submission before departure. The program promotes self-responsible management of the return by providing financial resources for a successful new start in the country of origin.
Eligible for funding are private individuals planning a return to their country of origin who require individual support for this purpose. Covered are both direct travel and transportation costs as well as financial benefits for establishing oneself locally, such as accommodation, professional start-up assistance, or family security. For the application, the official BAMF application form, a valid identity document (passport or ID card), and proof of residence status must be submitted. Since this is an ongoing funding opportunity, no fixed deadlines need to be observed. Through the cooperation of the federal government and BAMF as the leading authorities, reliable processing is ensured, enabling participants a smooth and well-prepared return process.
