Agents, brokers, and other businesses in travel & migration

Commercial actors in travel and migration are the private entities that facilitate and mediate migration. The specific characteristic of these actors is that their actions are based on financial rather than altruistic motives. Therefore, they request a remuneration for their services. This category of actors includes service providers such as travel agencies, labour recruitment agencies, visa brokers, marriage agencies, financial services firms, employers of transit migrants, pre-departure health assessment centers, language schools providing language certificates, au-pair or nanny agencies, student recruitment agencies etc. Intermediaries can be active in different fields of migration such as work migration, marriage migration or student mobility. It is difficult to draw a clear line between regular and irregular actors. While intermediaries usually act within the limits of the law, some actors find themselves in a semi-regular space, providing both regular and irregular services.
