Independent return to your country of origin

If the

Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND)

Repatriation and Departure Service (DT&V)

If your lawyer appeals the IND's ruling, you may often wait for the decision of the court in the Netherlands.

If the IND has definitively rejected your asylum application, you will receive a letter about this. This is called the 'beschikking'.

This means that the Dutch government requires you to return to your country of origin. If you choose to return, you can get support from different organisations.

This support can include a product, service or financial contribution. For example, an initial amount to start your own store and/or to help with writing a business plan.

Whether you receive support and what you are entitled to depends on your personal situation. Your contact person at VWN or your social worker can assist you with this.

VWN considers some countries unsafe to return to and does not offer assistance with your return. However, VWN can refer you to organisations that do offer assistance in returning to those countries.

Opportunities for reintegration support are limited if you are forced to return to your country of origin. In some situations, you can receive reintegration support. This support consists of items and/or assistance with a maximum value of €1,000.
