Voluntary Return
IOM supports migrants who voluntarily wish to return to their country of origin or migrate to a third country where permanent residence is guaranteed.
Due to measures following the COVID-19 outbreak, we have adapted our activities on Assisted Voluntary Return. Flight availability is limited, and countries of origin and transit points may have additional restrictions in place.

Family Reunification
IOM supports migrants who wish to reunite with their family members. To see if we can assist you, please find more information below or contact us directly.
Due to measures following the COVID-19 outbreak, IOM has adapted its activities on Family Reunification. Limited flight availability and additional (local) travel restrictions may apply. Within these limitations, IOM staff will continue to assist migrants who wish to reunite with their family members to the best of our abilities.
Labour Mobility, Social Inclusion and Resettlement
We implement projects that help migrants find their place in Dutch society. We also assist our partners (government, employers etc.) to recognize and welcome the positive contributions that migrants make to our society. Promoting migrant inclusion and social cohesion is at the core of our work.
We promote labour migration by matching talent from outside of Europe with Dutch employers. Labour mobility is an international phenomenon, with labour migrants making up nearly two-thirds of the global number of migrants. When well-managed, labour mobility is highly beneficial to migrants, their countries of origin and the European economies.
