Voluntary Departure Bonds

Voluntary Departure Bonds are a type of immigration bond that allows certain individuals facing deportation to leave the country voluntarily, instead of being removed by authorities. When someone is granted voluntary departure, they can pay a bond to ensure they will leave by a specific date. If they comply, the bond is refunded; if not, the bond amount is forfeited. This process provides individuals an opportunity to leave on their own terms while ensuring compliance with immigration laws. It’s a way to balance enforcement with the option for individuals to depart without an official removal record.
