Regular migration pathways enable people to move to, enter, and stay, temporarily or permanently, in a given State in ways that are authorized by the law of that State and international agreements to which it is a party. IOM’s work on facilitating regular pathways involves efforts to support States in establishing new regular pathways, help expand and implement existing ones and enhance regular pathways for better impact.

These can include, but are not limited to, documentation and legal identity services, visa systems, protection needs and vulnerability screening, health and social services, ethical recruitment processes, skills training and recognition, integration and safe and dignified return and reintegration support.
