Assisted Voluntary Return for Families and Children – AVRFC

Under this programme IOM offers assistance to non-EEA* families and children (under 18) who want to return permanently to their countries of origin – whether they have ever claimed asylum or have not.
IOM will make all arrangements and pay travel costs for parents and any number of their own children to return, with a £500 relocation grant per person given in cash at a UK airport. After their arrival in their home country each member of the family will receive a package of Reintegration Assistance.
Unaccompanied Minors (asylum seekers or irregular migrants) can also benefit, individually, under the AVRFC programme. (More...)
