Note(s)
1. The term is different from voluntary return, as with voluntary departure, ultimately there will be an obligation to return.
2. As voluntary departure is the preferred option over forced return, Art. 7(1) of Directive 2008/115/EC (Return Directive) defines an obligation for EU Member States to provide for an appropriate period for voluntary departure of between seven and thirty days.
