Germany Offers to Pay Migrants to Go Home
IBTimes UK
Germany wants rejected asylum seekers to voluntarily leave the country and aims to offer an incentive. The idea, outlined by Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, is meant to help with reintegration once back at home, DW reports.
De Maiziere said families can receive up to €3,000 ($3,570) and individuals up to €1,000 if they voluntarily return home by the end of February.
In addition to previous payments rejected asylum seekers can receive money in their homeland for rent, building, home renovations or even basic equipment for a kitchen or a bathroom.
The program is called "Your country. Your future. Now!"
"There are opportunities in your homeland. We will support you with concrete help for your reintegration," de Maiziere said.
