أThe Finnish Ministry of Interior said Thursday that it would pay asylum seekers up to 5,300 euros in assistance for their voluntary return to their homeland within 30 days.

Ministry said that asylum seeker must apply for the assistance within 30 days, and if applied after the aid will be reduced to 2,000 euros, and added that the law will go into effect on January 1, 2024.
The ministry clarified that in the previous law, four groups of countries had been set out in an annex to the previous decree to determine the amount of payments to asylum seekers for voluntary return. The new law abolishes these groups, meaning that everyone receives the same amount of assistance regardless of the country of origin.
adding that the amount will not be paid when moving to another European Union country or a country within the Schengen Agreement, as well as to a country whose citizens do not need an entry visa to Finland. The ministry added that “voluntary assistance upon return may consist of financial support for transportation and reintegration costs.”
