Germany's Federal Office for Migration is offering up to 1000 Euros in start-up aid for voluntary returns. In 2025, over 16,500 migrants used the program, a significant increase from previous years, with Syria and Turkey being top destinations. The program, which resumed flights to Syria in January 2025, saw strong interest despite the overall number of returnees remaining low compared to the Syrian population in Germany.
