Migrant Resource Centre: Lessons learnt through the Safer Migration (SaMi) Programme

Migrant Resource Centres (MRCs)
Strategically located within the premises of the District Administration Office (DAO), Migrant Resource Centres (MRCs) serve as key hubs for information and support services before, during, and after migration. Mostly, MRC host two counsellors—one for general counselling and another for case facilitation. Currently, all passport applicants, including students and leisure travelers, are required to visit the MRCs for mandatory counselling. MRC counsellors provide comprehensive guidance on various aspects of migration, including the proper procedures for labour migration, recruitment costs, the importance of skills training, and potential risks.
