Launch of the Self-Organized Voluntary Return Program

Are you considering returning to Syria?

The General Security Office (GSO) has announced administrative facilitation measures for Syrian refugees intending to return to Syria between 1 July and 30 September 2025. The details of this circular can be found here.

To complement these measures, UNHCR is officially launching its Self-Organized Voluntary Return Program, providing a one-time return cash grant to facilitate the voluntary return to Syria through official border crossing points.
