New project for voluntary assisted return from Czech Republic for Moldovan Migrants

Within a newly launched project for Assisted Voluntary Return, International Organization for Migration (IOM) offers support to citizens of non-EU member states for voluntary return to their countries of origin, in our case, to Moldova.

Migrants residing in Czech Republic on the basis of a residence permit issued for employment or business purposes, who following the economic crisis have lost their jobs, and wish to return to Moldova, but lack own means to cover the travel related costs, can benefit of assistance within the project for voluntary assisted return funded by the Czech Government. Within this project, if migrants fulfill the set conditions, at the departure from the Czech Republic they are entitled to receive financial assistance in the sum of 300/500 EUR.

Moreover, they can benefit of reintegration assistance in Moldova in the sum up to 700 USD, offered within the development project addressed to Moldovan citizens.
