On ad-hoc basis, IOM provides
counseling, document processing, medical
examination, cultural orientation and transportation
assistance to migrants granted resettlement
conditions in European countries like France, UK,
Denmark, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway,
Finland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, as well as in
New Zealand, Australia and Chile upon the requests
of the receiving countries’ governments to ensure
smooth running of the process. Beneficiaries are
mostly UNHCR refugees and sometimes individuals
accepted by these countries on humanitarian basis,
including family reunifications. IOM arranges smooth
travel of ordinary cases as well as medical cases
with special travel requirements (escort,
wheelchair, stretcher, oxygen, etc) and arranges for
medical evacuation where necessary. In fulfillment
of its services IOM works in close cooperation with
the UNHCR, embassies of receiving governments, ICRC,
the airlines and medical clinics.
