IOM is the world’s leading international migration agency. Since its foundation in 1951 it has helped over 13 million migrants, in the belief that migration – if dignified, orderly and voluntary – is of benefit to the individuals concerned and society as a whole.

Since 1999 IOM UK has assisted more than 34,000 people to return to some 140 countries.

IOM UK runs two voluntary return programmes: one is for anyone who has been in the asylum system at any stage - applying, appealing, refused - (VARRP); one is for families with children (whether they have applied for asylum or not) and for young people under the age of 18 returning on their own (AVRFC). Under both programmes IOM arranges flights and onward transportation to the home doorstep and also delivers Reintegration Assistance in the country of return. Apart from a relocation grant given to each individual returnee at the airport of departure this assistance is not delivered in cash but in kind according to an 'IRP' (Individual Return Plan) tailored to meet the needs of each returnee. Targeted payments can be made towards a range of things including: payment of fees for vocational training courses at colleges, for higher education, or for children's schooling; a three month salary supplement for a job placement; housing repair or extension/short-term accommodation; an extra baggage allowance; medical and psychosocial support; or, most commonly, to help buy equipment and supplies to set up a small business.

The aim of this assistance is to contribute to a more 'sustainable return'.

IOM UK's main office is in London with staff who, between them, speak over 30 different languages. No appointment is necessary to visit this office 10am-1pm and 2pm-4:30pm, Monday to Friday.


We also have branch offices in Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, and Manchester.
All enquiries to IOM are treated confidentially and there is no need for anyone to give their name in order to receive free advice.
