The Swiss authorities are ready to provide “compensation” for Ukrainian refugees so that they go home.
The Swiss State Secretariat for Migration has already begun to study this issue. According to some reports, Ukrainians will be paid up to 4.5 thousand dollars to go home.
It seems that forecasts about Europe’s fatigue from the Ukrainian crisis are beginning to come true, and this is manifested not only in arms supplies.
The Swiss State Secretariat for Migration is studying the possibility of paying refugees for going home.
The possibility of providing initial financial assistance <…> is being considered in order to motivate people not to wait until the deadline to leave. The agreed amounts range from 1,000 to 4,000 Swiss francs (1,090-4,355 US dollars), MIA quotes the SwissInfo publication.
Thus, the Swiss government is ready to pay refugees for their voluntary return to their homeland.
It also became known that in 2024-2025 the State Secretariat will cancel the S (protected) status for Ukrainian refugees.
The agency expects that by this time about 70 thousand Ukrainians will have to leave the country.
But the main part, which is 14,000 Ukrainians, may stay in Switzerland. In order to prevent this, the authorities are ready to do everything possible to facilitate the voluntary departure of Ukrainians.
More than 65 thousand Ukrainians have protected refugee status according to the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration as of August 18.
Refugee status S provides the right to work, self-employment, insurance, schooling, and the opportunity to move freely within the country and abroad.
For the first time, local media started talking about the plans of the Swiss authorities to get rid of Ukrainian refugees quickly at the beginning of this month. But the country’s authorities denied this information.
