Can I get assistance to return home?

A foreigner who has received a refusal of an application for international protection or has withdrawn an application for protection may request assistance to return home.

An application for assistance must be submitted before the deadline for voluntary return, specified in the authorities decision, expires.

You can ask for return assistance by sending an e-mail to return@utl.is. Your full name and date of birth must be included in the mail.
