Deportation Pocket Money

Facing deportation can be an overwhelming experience—one made even more daunting for immigrants with limited financial resources. To ease this burden, ITT provides "Deportation Pocket Money" to deported members, helping them manage the immediate expenses associated with deportation and comply with legal obligations more effectively.

This financial assistance eases not only the emotional stress but also the practical challenges that follow removal from a host country.

Understanding Deportation

When a government determines that a non-citizen has violated immigration or criminal laws—for instance, by entering a country without authorization or overstaying a visa—it may initiate the formal removal (deportation) process. Importantly, deportation is not instantaneous. Individuals have the opportunity to contest the process, provided they understand the necessary legal procedures.

Financial & Emotional Challenges of Deportation

Financial Impact

Deportation can create substantial economic strain, particularly for families already struggling financially. Non-citizens are often marginalized in labor markets, and many deportees come from low-income households. Those who remain behind may experience further hardship, especially if they attempt to support deported relatives or continue remittances.

Emotional Toll

The stress and fear associated with deportation can also prompt families to consider relocating—raising living costs and heightening emotional distress.
