The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Riga Office operates in Latvia. IOM is an intergovernmental, non-political humanitarian organization working in the field of migration. The Riga Office implements the Voluntary Return and Reintegration Programme, providing support to individuals who have no legal basis to remain in Latvia and wish to voluntarily return to their country of origin.
IOM covers the cost of the flight and other travel expenses to the person's place of residence, provides assistance at the airport, arranges an escort if needed, grants a one-time return allowance, and offers support for reintegration upon return.
A foreigner who has received a voluntary return decision has the right to apply for aid by the Riga Office of the IOM.
