Choices service

The Choices service provides independent and confidential advice and assistance for people who would like to return or who may be considering returning voluntarily.

This service is available to you or your family if you:

are an asylum seeker
are a refused asylum seeker
have Discretionary Leave to remain
are in the UK with no legal status (an 'irregular migrant')

The service includes:

If you decide not to return, information on other services to help you

If you decide to return, we will support you to:

Plan for your return — for example the journey from the airport to your home town/village, where you will live, what you would like to do, contacting family.
Give you information on packages of support that may be available in your country (education, employment, training, business packages)
Apply for travel documents and pay for the flight
In some cases you may be eligible for financial support after you have returned.
Offer assistance at the airport, and support after you have returned
