‘Where is my Home?’ Czech Migrants’ Return during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Original language description
This paper explores the realities of returning to the Czech Republic during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, the transnational migrant networks have been disrupted for many migrants. Some of them had to use the help of the nation-state, such as the information provided by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs or repatriation flights, to return to the country of origin. Moreover, their migration plans and trajectories might have been cut short and altered during the pandemic. This paper draws on 135 surveys with the returnees who returned to the Czech Republic between February 2020 and May 2021 and discusses their characteristics. It looks at the factors that made migrants return to the Czech Republic, describes their socio-economic situation compared to the previous country of residence, and other aspects of their post-return experience. Finally, it sheds light on the characteristics of those who claim they would have stayed abroad if there had been no pandemic.
