International Organization for Migration (IOM) offers help to migrants who can use it after their return home from Slovakia. Assistance aims to facilitate migrant’s living conditions immediately after their return to country of origin. The assistance is designed for migrants without a residence permit in Slovakia, asylum seekers and unsuccesful asylum seekers who opted for voluntary return home with IOM and registered in to the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Programme.

Migrants can benefit from assistance with setting up of small businesses, which provides them and their families with livelihood, with improvement of their qualification, which could in turn increase their employability, assistance with job search, with providing for migrant’s basic needs following their arrival home, with temporary accommodation, legal assistance or medical assistance. All IOM services during the return and after the return of a migrant are free of charge.

More information in Slovak, English, Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese and Arabic is available in the new IOM brochure.

IOM has so far helped individuals and families in 21 countries around the world to begin a new life. You can read the stories of migrants who returned home and have already benefited from IOM reintegration assistance.

If you want to apply for assistance, please visit IOM office at Grosslingova 4 in Bratislava or at Postova 1 in Kosice or call our low rate AVRR helpline 0850 211 262. More information can be also found on the web site www.avr.iom.sk.
