What is the Remigration scheme?:
If you are currently living in the Netherlands but want to return to your country of origin, you can apply to the SVB for a monthly remigration benefit to help cover your living expenses. This is provided for under the Remigration Act.
The amount of your remigration benefit depends on the following:
** the country you are moving to
** your family situation
If you receive another Dutch benefit, it will be deducted from your remigration benefit. If you are no longer covered under the Dutch health insurance system after you have moved abroad, you can also get a contribution towards health insurance.
You can get help from the Dutch Migration Institute (NMI):
If you are considering returning to another country, you can get help and advice from the Dutch Migration Institute (Nederlands Migratie Instituut, NMI). They have a special helpline for questions about remigration. You can speak to a staff member straight away, who will often be able to speak your language.
Tel. 030 – 236 4245 (daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
Who is the Remigration scheme for?:
Three categories of people can apply for a remigration benefit. Special conditions apply in each case.
1. If you were born in a country which is covered by the Remigration Act:
If you were born in a country which is covered by the Remigration Act, and you want to go back to live in that country, you must have, or have had, the nationality of that country, and you must have been 18 or over when you came to live in the Netherlands. In addition, you must have been living in the Netherlands before a certain date (depending on which country you wish to move to).
2. If you are a recognized refugee or have been granted asylum:
If you live in the Netherlands and you are a recognized refugee or you have been granted asylum, it makes no difference which country you are from or which nationality you have. You can only remigrate to the country you are from. NB: you must have received a residence permit before 1 July 2014.
3. Moluccans:
If you were part of a group that was brought to the Netherlands from the Moluccan Islands in 1951 or 1952 and you are or were listed in the Rietkerk Act benefits register, you can apply for a remigration benefit.
