15 Dienst Terugkeer en Vertrek Repatriation and Departure Service
The DT&V is responsible for expediting the voluntary and forced departure of foreign nationals who are not allowed to stay in the Netherlands. DT&V staff act with care and respect for the dignity of each foreign national. The DT&V works with the following groups: Foreign nationals who have been detained as part of the national (mobile) supervision of foreign nationals Foreign nationals who have been denied entry to the country as part of the border control process Foreign nationals whose residence permits have been revoked. Foreign nationals who have exhausted the appeal process and have not been granted asylum. The DT&V adopts a personal approach and focuses on case management. The DT&V carries out its task in partnership with other agencies involved in the asylum and migration process. The DT&V also acts as the point of contact for the competent authorities in the countries of origin and their diplomatic representatives.
