Many are monitoring the situation
Ministry pays Syrians 1000 euros to return home
The Ministry of the Interior is helping Syrians who want to return home. The Federal Support Agency (BBU) recently started paying up to 1000 euros for a "new start". It also offers support in organizing the journey home and obtaining the necessary documents.
Although return counseling is available on an ongoing basis, there are also regular targeted campaigns to provide extra motivation for people from certain countries of origin. One such campaign has now been launched with Syrians following the fall of the Assad regime there.
The vast majority of Syrians who are thinking about returning are currently still observing the unclear situation in their country of origin, according to the Federal Support Agency. It is now receiving an increasing number of inquiries, although these are rarely specific.
Are flights being organized?
Recently, up to 1000 euros have been offered for a "new start", support with the journey home and with obtaining the necessary documents. As reported, Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) recently announced his intention to offer support to Syrians willing to return home. There was even talk of organizing flights.
In a further step, according to Karner, people who have become criminals, do not want to integrate or work in the labor market are to be taken out of Austria. The prerequisite is a corresponding security situation in Syria.
High chance of asylum
According to Statistics Austria, around 95,000 Syrians live in Austria, making them the eighth largest group of immigrants. In the first ten months of 2024, 12,134 people from Syria applied for asylum in this country. Most of them (11,366) were granted asylum. Around eight out of ten Syrians feel that they belong to Austria; according to the "Statistical Yearbook on Migration and Integration", their ties to their home country are significantly lower (51%).
In the previous year, 1356 departures were registered. However, these include not only returnees, but also people who have moved on to other countries.
