Coordination center of voluntary return in the Arnavuatkei area ensures the execution of documents and sending the Syrians to the border points in the Hatai Province (gylvegias, Ovladags, heraldyndals), Kilis province (Ondjyupinar, Chobanbey), Gaziantep Province (Karkamysh) and the provinces of Chantlyurf (Akchakala). The Syrians write to the reception through the site randevu.goc.gov.tr, where they receive a “form of voluntary return”, “permission to travel” and, if necessary, notarial consent.
at the border points, verification of fingerprints and customs procedures are carried out. The process is also possible directly at the border and controls the Office of the Supreme Commissioner of the United Nations for Refugees. Before sending, children are presented with gifts.
