VOLUNTARY RETURN

Belgium organises returns on a voluntary basis for people living in our country without a permanent residence permit and who have decided to return to live in their home country. Fedasil is the government agency responsible for the voluntary return programme from Belgium. The return journey is organised by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) or by Fedasil itself. The journey is generally made by plane, but for visa-free European countries, it takes place by bus... The voluntary return programme is aimed at all people who do not have a residence permit in Belgium, namely applicants for international protection in the middle of the procedure, applicants who have been turned down, and migrants in irregular situation who have never applied for international protection. Often, it concerns migrants who have to or want to leave Belgium, but do not have the financial or logistical resources required to do so.
