dc.description This article contributes to theunderstanding of how certain destination choices influence migration intentionsamong international students in transition economies. A focused group of 15participants comprising ten males and five females from various Africancountries was conducted to empirically verify how destination types affectmigration intentions. Results from our analysis showed high intentions ofparticipants to return to origin countries or proceed to more developedcountries to work or further their education. The study identified culturaldifferences, inability to obtain a work permit and secure opportunities as wellas rising security problems as reasons for return or transit migrationintentions. The results also illustrate the importance of religion and socialnetworking as influential factors in migration decisions. An importantimplication of this study is the implementation of immigration policies thatprovides support structures and opportunities such as international workingexperiences for students at the local level to facilitate the smooth transitioninto the labor market in case of stay, return or transit migration intentions.
