Resources on returning to Ukraine

Please find below information on voluntary return to Ukraine and related resources. For additions to this list, we welcome your suggestions at [email protected]

The European Commission provides advice on returning to Ukraine, either temporarily or on a permanent basis. The Commission has also published a Frequently Asked Questions document on going home to Ukraine on a voluntary basis in the context of Temporary Protection.

Some supports from individual member states are listed below:

From Germany to Ukraine: Due to the security situation in Ukraine, assisted voluntary return to Ukraine from Germany through the IOM programmes REAG/GARP and StarthilfePlus in Ukraine is currently not supported. However, please visit here for information on return counselling centres in Germany and other resources.

From Belgium to Ukraine: Belgium organises returns on a voluntary basis for people living in Belgium without a permanent residence permit and who have decided to return to live in their home country. Fedasil is the government agency responsible for the voluntary return pro­gramme from Belgium. 

From Hungary to Ukraine: Useful Q&A on rights of those with temporary protection status in Hungary & temporary return to Ukraine. 

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) published a position on voluntary return to Ukraine in June 2023. Although UNHCR is not promoting returns to Ukraine at the current time due to the ongoing international armed conflict, it is recognised that some Ukrainians living abroad may take personal decisions to return. See the position paper for further information on safeguards and key considerations in relation to voluntary return to Ukraine.

The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has published a strategy for supporting return to Ukraine.  As of July 2023, IOM is not providing assisted voluntary return to Ukraine as the conditions for facilitating safe and dignified assisted return are not yet in place, but limited movement assistance may take place to mitigate protection risks in exceptional situations.

Please see IOM Ukraine Response for updated information on the situation in Ukraine.
