Assisted Voluntary Return

Since 1 January 2010, the Helsinki office of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has implemented the project "Developing Assisted Voluntary Return in Finland (DAVRiF)". The project offers Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration assistance to migrants in Finland, but also aims at establishing a permanent voluntary return framework in the country. This website was created as part of the project and contains project information in English, Finnish, and numerous other languages. Through these pages you can also download application forms, access statistics and contact IOM.
