Voluntary return 

You can return to your home country at any time. However, if you return during your asylum procedure, your asylum procedure will be terminated. If you have been granted refugee status, your status and residence permit will be withdrawn.

If you wish to return to your home country, we recommend that you contact the Migration and Passport Office (Ausländer- und Passamt) or a legal adviser (see Legal counselling).

You can obtain further information on voluntary return by contacting the office of the International Organization for Migration in Bern (phone: +41 31 350 82 11, email: [email protected]).
