Abstract
Irregular migrants are increasingly excluded from social welfare by rigid laws. Still they manage to
survive in the Netherlands. The majority manages to survive by their own means and relations;
however a small part increasingly needs the support of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and
municipalities. It is argued that this small part illustrates the characteristics and consequences of
being an irregular migrant. Some of the rough consequences of being an irregular migrant become
clear in the outcomes of the limited capabilities of the NGOs and municipalities. Not all irregular
migrants who need help can be supported and NGOs as well as municipalities have to distinguish
which irregular migrants are given or denied support. To study these characteristics, the main
question is formulated as follows: ‘’what influences the chances of irregular migrants on receiving
shelter from nongovernmental organizations in the Netherlands? ‘’
