Since 2014, the city of Antwerp, Belgium has assisted 6,759 people without legal residency in voluntarily returning to their countries of origin.
Mayor Els van Doesburg of the N-VA party stated that “a life in illegal status offers no one a real future in our city.” Antwerp initiated its own return policy twelve years ago to address this issue.
