This study examines the pre-departure experiences of individuals preparing to migrate from Türkiye. People who were citizens of the Republic of Türkiye and had at least one official approval for immigration were included in the study. Eleven participants (nine women and two men) were recruited using the criterion sampling method. Data were collected using the semi-structured interview form called Experiences in Pre-Departure Phase of Migration, which was developed by the researchers. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the data. Four group experiential themes were determined: migration decision, difficulties, facilitators, and return decision. The findings are discussed with push and pull theory, ecological systems theory, relative deprivation theory, and related literature.
