Productive Voluntary Return: Starting Over in the Country of Origin - 2026

The program “Productive Voluntary Return: Starting Over in the Country of Origin” is aimed at individuals who wish to voluntarily return to their country of origin to start a productive project or enterprise. Its objective is to help ensure a safe, organized return with better opportunities, especially for vulnerable individuals of Colombian, Paraguayan, or Peruvian nationality.

We offer comprehensive return support, which includes:
• Personalized guidance and information before, during, and after the return.
• Training workshops for the design and development of the productive project.
• Payment of the airline ticket
• Financial assistance of 450 euros (reinstallation aid and travel allowance)
• Financial support for the launch of the business initiative, with aid ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 euros, in addition to resources necessary for the launch in the country of origin.
• Psychosocial support and family assistance after the return.

The program is carried out from the offices in Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona.
