We help you to find a German city that meets your needs and preferences
Re:Match is a small, needs-oriented relocation programme for refugees from Ukraine who are currently based in Poland and are interested in moving to Germany. On this page you can find out more about this programme and how it works.
How it works:
1. CONTACT US

Get in contact with us and learn about the Re:Match relocation process. For example, you can attend an info event in Salam Lab’s welcome centre in Krakow (Poland) where all your questions will be answered. If you wish to take part in the programme, you can arrange an in-person interview with our team in Krakow.
2. INTERVIEW

During the interview at Salam Labs office in Krakow, you will discuss your needs and priorities. You will also be asked to provide relevant information about yourself (and other people you want to be relocated with). Meanwhile, participating cities are also asked about their capacities and needs.
3. MATCHING

Based on the information you provided, we do our best to find the best match for you. We will discuss the match with you and provide more information on the proposed city. You have the final say on whether you’d like to accept the match.
4. RELOCATION & TRAVELLING

After informing the city, we will organise your relocation together with you: we help you arrange your trip and provide you information about the city and the local support structures.
5. ARRIVAL

Upon arrival, the local authorities will provide guidance for registration and other paperwork for you to receive a temporary residence permit, financial support and so on. Now you can start to settle in your new city.

To participate you must fulfill all of the following requirements:
- you are fleeing from the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine
- you are a Ukrainian national who had their residence in Ukraine before February 24, 2022 or a Ukrainian national’s family member
