Remigration support is assistance and a financial contribution when you leave the Netherlands. This assistance is intended to build a future in your country of origin, or a country outside the European Union where you can stay.

You can make use of remigration support if you:
Lived in Ukraine on the basis of a temporary residence permit
Were registered with the municipality in the Dutch population register (BRP) before 19 July 2022
Your Temporary Protection in the Netherlands ends on 4 September 2023
If you do not have Ukrainian citizenship, but your Temporary Protection in the Netherlands continues until 4 March 2024, you can also make use of remigration support. For you, the Temporary Protection may also be extended to 4 March 2025. This is the case if:
You lived in Ukraine on the basis of a permanent residence permit

A one-time financial contribution of €5000 per person. You will receive this contribution upon your departure at Schiphol Airport if you have registered with the DT&V before 16 September 2023. And leave the Netherlands within 1 month of that registration.
