Resumo

We aim at studying the pull forces in Colombia that motivate the migration of Portuguese citizens, starting by analyzing the migratory course between the two countries in order to gauge the motivations and challenges for this path. Migration is a topic of extreme importance today and an intrinsic part of the culture of many societies, particularly those with international/colonial ties. While there are migratory paths that cross the entire world, the present study focuses on the journey made from Portugal to Colombia. Therefore, a qualitative method of data analysis was used, using interviews with Portuguese migrants in Colombia and other secondary materials. The results suggest that the main motivations for the exit of Portuguese from their country of origin are due to the lack of opportunities and low quality of life, mainly at the financial level. At the same time, it is possible to conclude that the great pull-factors in Colombia are precisely the growing volume of opportunities for professional development and for entrepreneurs, the economic benefits, as well as the Colombian environment and culture.
