Voluntary Return

You can return to your home country at any time during your asylum procedure.

The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM), together with IOM and other partners, supports persons who wish to voluntarily return to their home country. They will help you with the organisation of your trip and your arrival and reintegration in your home country.

Return Counselling Services (RCS) provide information on voluntary returns in each canton as well as in the Federal Reception Centres.  

In each canton, as well as in the Federal Asylum Centre (FAC), Return Counselling Services (RCS) provide information on return assistance to asylum-seekers interested.
