The Danish government is offering substantial financial incentives for Syrian refugees to voluntarily return to their home country.
Adults can receive up to 200,000 Danish crowns (€26,818), while children are eligible for 50,000 crowns (€6,700). These payments are part of Denmark’s repatriation law, which aims to encourage voluntary departures.
Since 2015, over 5,100 Syrians have left Denmark, including nearly 600 with legal residency who returned to Syria with financial support since 2019, according to Denmark’s Social Democratic Integration Minister, Kaare Dybvad Bek.
Speaking to the German tabloid Bild, Bek expressed hope that “even more people will take advantage of the offer” in light of the program’s continuation.
