Voluntary returns and reintegration

The Program of Assisted Voluntary Returns (AVR) is a global IOM Program which is implemented also in the Czech Republic. IOM Prague assists yearly approximately to 300 - 400 people from tens of countries worldwide. IOM Prague offers to migrants a possibility to return to their home country without any administrative delays. The target group of  AVR program are those applicants for asylum who stopped asylum procedure or whose asylum was refused, foreigners who have not sufficient travel documents and who stay in detention centers for foreigners. IOM Prague in cooperation with responsible governmental and non-governmental organizations helps migrants to receive a legal status through arranging them valid travel documents in order to allow them legally leave the Czech Republic and return to their home country. The advantage of AVR program is that foreigners return to their home country as ordinary tourists without information the local institutions.

IOM also offers reintegration assistance to the returns (AVRR) which enables for sustainable return. The reintegration assistance consists of job counseling, support to small businesses, retraining courses etc.

IOM Prague has entered into the return field in the Czech Republic in 2001 thanks to the signed Agreement on Assisted voluntary returns with the Ministry of the Interior.  IOM Prague is very much engaged in assisting to foreigners with arrangements of proper travel documents needed for their return and communicates with the Embassies in the Czech Republic, as well as outside of the Czech Republic. IOM Prague arranges for flight and return tickets for returnees and communicates with other IOM missions, especially in cases of transit in the Schengen area, as well as with IOM missions in the countries of return. IOM Prague provides for pre-departure counselling for all returnees in the program.

IOM worldwide provides for better conditions for foreigners in the programs of the voluntary returns in order to secure their dignified return back home. IOM also arranges for better financial conditions with the air carriers in order to make cheaper returns for the Governments.

IOM also gets engaged in the debate on return policy, implements EU projects supporting better coordination in the return policy of host countries and countries of return.

Thanks to the reintegration assistance, IOM supports sustainability of the return, as well as it intends to increase the development potential of the return itself.

The International Organization for migration emphasizes the need to reflect the whole migration cycle from the informed migration from the country of origin, through the facilitating regular migration, reduction of irregular migration, migrants rights protection, integration of foreigners residing in the Czech Republic, up to the sustainable returns back to the country of origin. From the point of view of the governments, IOM emphasizes that migration should be beneficial for both host countries and countries of the origin in terms of their development. Thus, there should be coherence between the migration and development policies. This broad perspective enables IOM to see every migration phase and act in favour of the migrants, as well as in favor of the governments.

 AVR program runs thanks to cooperation and funding of the Ministry of Interior, Department of Asylum and Migration Policies, Alien and Border Police Headquarters, Refugee Facilities Administration of Ministry of Interior, international airlines carriers and other partners.
