Welcome to IOM Vienna
Since 1952, when Austria joined the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as one of its earliest member states, the IOM Mission in Vienna has promoted a vision of mutually beneficial migration that is not only humane and orderly but that actively involves the migrant in both sending and receiving countries in the development of migration policies.
