In the detention centre, the Repatriation and Departure Service will work towards your repatriation with you.
As soon as your flight is booked, you will be returned.
Your lawyer will be informed 48 hours in advance.
You will travel from the detention centre to the airport.
Your return shall be supervised.
On arrival, you are handed over to the local authorities.

*Music playing*
Title: Repatriation with medical conditions

During each stage of the repatriation procedure the foreign national can claim medical assistance if required.
In cases where medical assistance is required the Repatriation and Departure Service (DT&V) will be adjusted the repatriation process accordingly.
The Medical Advice Bureau of the Immigration and Naturalisation Service sets medical conditions to the repatriation.
This could for instance include Medical assistance during the flight but could also potentially extend to the country of origin.
The medical conditions for the foreign national will be submitted for a judicial review, included in the repatriation plan and then realised.
Upon arrival in the country of origin, the transfer will be completed.
This way the foreign national is not left to his or her own resources.

You have requested asylum in another European country

*Music playing*
Title: You have requested asylum in another European country
Voiceover:
The IND has denied your request because you requested asylum in another European country.
We understand this must be disappointing for you.
The European country where you first requested asylum is responsible for your request.
Travelling to an additional country is pointless.
You will be transferred back to the initial country.
Or the repatriation to your country of origin will be arranged.

You travel to a next European country

*Music playing*
Title: You travel to the next European country
Voiceover:
The IND has ruled that you have to leave the Netherlands.
We understand that this must be disappointing for you.
What will happen if you wish to request asylum in another European country?
The first European country where you arrived, must process your asylum request.
So, if you arrived in Europe via the Netherlands and you travel to another European country, you’ll be sent back to the Netherlands.
Therefore, it is pointless to request asylum in another country.
You have the choice to either cooperate with your return or your return will have to be enforced.
