In this three-year project funded by the EU Return Fund and the Finnish Immigration Service, IOM Helsinki supports the Finnish government in setting up a permanent Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) framework in Finland. IOM facilitates all stages of the return process, from information provision and counseling to travel arrangements and provision of reintegration support for eligible returnees.
IOM Helsinki provides Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) services to asylum seekers and other migrants in Denmark in cooperation with various Danish partners on an ad hoc basis. The costs of the travel arrangements are invoiced to the relevant Danish partner.
IOM Helsinki provides Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) services to asylum seekers and other migrants in Sweden in cooperation with the Swedish Migration Board (SMB) and other partners. The costs of the travel arrangements are invoiced to the relevant Swedish partner.
In cooperation with the Swedish Migration Board (SMB), IOM Helsinki facilitates payment of reestablishment support (“återetableringsstöd”) to voluntary returnees from Sweden that have been granted the support by decision of the SMB. The payments are coordinated by IOM Helsinki and carried out in cooperation with IOM offices in the 20 regions or countries of return presently covered by the agreement.
