1. VOLUNTARY RETURNS FROM THE NETHERLANDS After a very busy 2016 with unprecedented high numbers of voluntary return departures, the year 2017 saw much lower numbers, mainly due to policy decisions excluding several nationalities from IOM services. At the same time, the number of complex cases increased, requiring extensive counselling, coordination and tailormade approaches. Following the exclusions, IOM worked on making sure that, irrespective of their nationality, vulnerable migrants could still access the support they needed.

The year 2017 marked a quarter of a century of voluntary returns assisted by IOM in the Netherlands. In this period, IOM assisted some 61,000 migrants to return voluntarily from the Netherlands to their country of origin. This number compares to the population of medium-size Dutch cities such as Gouda or Assen.
