MigApp

Irregular and unsafe migration often is a result of lack of awareness about the risks and the preparation of the travel: ill-informed knowledge of visa, health risks, and the interaction with legitimate service providers.

MigApp is IOMs downloadable app which serves as a one-stop-shop where migrants can access current, reliable, and practical information throughout their migration process. As a country-based hub, MigApp ensures that migrants have access to local information and services.
