COVID-19 COVID-19
Due to measures following the COVID19/Corona Virus outbreak, we have adapted our activities on Assisted Voluntary Return.
Flight availability is very limited. In addition, countries of origin and transit points often implement additional restrictions.
Within those limitations, IOM staff will continue to assist migrants who wish to return, to the best of our possibilities.
For questions and inquiries, our counsellors can be reached on their direct phone numbers or at 088 746 4466.
Message from the Director General
Over the past few weeks, across much of the world, our lives have been upended in ways few could have anticipated.
People have had to make drastic and sudden adjustments to their lives, working from home, caring for children who can no longer go to school, restricting movements to essential needs only.
In the midst of this global crisis, which is setting at unprecedented speed, and whose duration we cannot foresee, many of us are naturally concerned for our loved ones, particularly those who are the most vulnerable, whether because of age or health factors.
