About this report:

In 2011, 3,358 migrants have returned through the voluntary return program. Besides the voluntary return program, also the reintegration program became more developed.
The persons that have returned via the voluntary return program in 2011 were asylum seekers (528), ex-asylum seekers (1,155) and undocumented migrants (1,675).  The reintegration support went mainly to asylum seekers and ex-asylum seekers. In 2011 Fedasil paid attention to the return of specific target groups such as unaccompanied minors and kidney dialysis patients from Armenia.
The annual report provides also information about the efforts  that were made in 2011 on return assistance,  both within and outside the reception structures.
