Under consideration
Benelux and Mongolia agree on readmission of irregular migrants
Official title: Wetsontwerp houdende instemming met de Overeenkomst tussen de Benelux-Staten (het Koninkrijk België, het Groothertogdom Luxemburg en het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden) en Mongolië betreffende de terug- en overname van onregelmatig verblijvende personen, en Uitvoeringsprotocol, gedaan te Brussel op 9 januari 2024.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg are establishing clear procedures with Mongolia to return each other's citizens who lack legal residence status. The agreement sets specific deadlines for requests, proof of nationality, and the issuance of travel documents.
- This directly affects Mongolian nationals staying without authorization in the Benelux (and vice versa), as well as immigration and border authorities.
- For your daily life, nothing changes unless you are personally involved in this return process. Faster processing aims to shorten time spent in detention centres and reduce public costs.
