The FINANCIAL — The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has provided training on document security for visa and consular officials from the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the EU-funded “More for More” project.
The anti-fraud training was delivered last week to officials currently serving in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kuwait, China, Qatar, South Africa and Jordan, according to EU Neighbours East Info.
Core subjects included document security features, document abuse and impostor detection. Participants were able to engage in active discussions on how to deal with false documents submitted in support of visa applications, passport examination and applications for residence permits. The three-day training was specifically planned by IOM to gather core actors in the border management chain and to obtain a clear understanding of the shared challenges being faced.
The IOM is the leading intergovernmental organisation in the field of migration dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration. IOM works to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration challenges, and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.
