Foreign nationals without a residence permit are personally responsible for their departure from the Netherlands. They can get help of the Dutch government or other organisations to arrange their return.
Forced departure is only applied when the foreign national fails to leave the Netherlands voluntarily and does not accept assistance from the DT&V or other (non-profit) organisations.
