Repatriation Grant for Voluntary Repatriation

The Repatriation Grant is a financial support program offered by the Swedish Migration Agency for individuals with residence permits based on protection needs who have decided to voluntarily move from Sweden. The grant provides financial assistance to cover the cost of travel and help recipients establish themselves in their home country or another country where they have the right to reside. The program is available to refugees, persons eligible for subsidiary protection, quota refugees, those with permits due to exceptionally distressing circumstances, and certain family members. The grant is paid out in three installments: 20% upon approval while still in Sweden, 40% upon arrival in the destination country, and 60% at least 15 months after departure once the Swedish residence permit is no longer valid or has been revoked. As of January 1, 2026, eligible individuals can receive up to 350,000 SEK per adult, 25,000 SEK per child, with household maximums of 500,000 SEK for couples and 600,000 SEK total. Recipients must demonstrate permission to live in their destination country, intend to permanently leave Sweden, and meet specific eligibility requirements. The program aims to support voluntary repatriation by providing meaningful financial assistance to help individuals restart their lives outside Sweden.
