MigApp : Stay Safe, Stay Informed<br />

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY<br />

“We developed MigApp to help migrants make informed decisions. Irregular and<br />

unsafe migration is often the result of lack of awareness about the risks involved<br />

or of ill-informed knowledge of visa, health or travel regulations.”<br />

<strong>IOM</strong> launched MigApp on International Migrant’s Day <strong>2017</strong>. MigApp leverages<br />

current technology and the widespread use of mobile telecommunications<br />

to bring a secure and user-friendly one-stop platform where migrants can<br />

access current, reliable and practical information and services. MigApp aims<br />

to offset the misinformation on migration in circulation today by providing<br />

information on: visa, health and travel regulations; alerts on global incidents;<br />

and contacts of counter-trafficking hotlines around the world.<br />
