ABOUT IOM

International Organization for Migration is a leading inter-governmental organization operating in the field of migration. IOM was established over 60 years ago. It currently has more than 470 offices in 149 member countries. Over sixty years, IOM has helped millions of people in various places around the world. Assistance in voluntary return and reintegration is one of many carried out by IOM activities.

About assisted voluntary return

If you decide to leave Poland and return to your country, you can benefit from the assisted voluntary returns program. The program is aimed at citizens of countries outside the European Union who have been refused refugee status, subsidiary protection or tolerated stay permit or who are staying in Poland without a visa or another document authorizing their legal stay. If you have found yourself in this situation, you can turn to IOM for help in returning home.

Remember that your return within the programme is voluntary, so you have to decide for yourself whether or not to return. Contact us and tell us about your situation. You will receive detailed information on how we can help you and the situation in the country to which you wish to return. If you decide to participate in the program, we will prepare and plan your trip, and cover the associated costs. We will also provide support and assistance after you return home.

Assistance in return

If you leave Poland in the frames of the program, apart from a small cash allowance provided on the day of departure, you can also receive reintegration assistance that will help you stand on your feet upon return. Reintegration assistance can be allocated to setting up your own business, education and vocational training. Depending on your business idea, you can obtain, among others, tools, shop equipment, farm animals or computer equipment. You can also count on having the initial costs of starting a business covered. On the other hand, if you wish to improve your qualifications, you can have the cost of some vocational training or other forms of education covered, so as to increase your chances of finding employment upon completion.
