About Voluntary Returns and Reintegration

As a core activity of IOM, AVRR activities provide vital assistance to thousands of migrants every year. Building on experience and a world-wide network of offices and partners, IOM’s AVRR programmes strive to ensure that migrants in need are assisted to return voluntarily, safely and in dignity, and are supported in achieving sustainable reintegration, in full respect for human rights, regardless of their status.

The project "Return and Reintegration Assistance to Voluntary Returns of Third-country Nationals 2024-2026" Reg. No CZ.12.01.03/00/23_015/0000034 is co-financed by the European Union through the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund Programme and the budget of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic.

In terms of the programme we offer: 

• Free counselling on a wide range of issues, pre-departure assistance, legal and other specialized services
