This paper analyzes the migration experiences of Filipino workers in Croatia, with a particular focus on their motives for migration, experiences in transit countries, and adaptation to a new work and cultural environment. The aim of this research is to describe and understand the migration pathways of Filipino workers in Croatia in the context of decision-making and the resources needed for migration. The research was conducted using semi-structured interviews with four Filipino workers living and working in the Dalmatian region. The thematic analysis of the interviews shows that financial reasons represent the dominant motive for migration, with a strong need to provide financial support to families in the Philippines. However, experiences in transit countries such as Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are often marked by difficult working conditions and cultural differences, leading foreign workers to frequently migrate to European countries. The move to Croatia brings positive changes in the quality of life, but workers face challenges such as language and communication barriers and complex administrative procedures. Nonetheless, the Filipino community in Croatia offers significant social and emotional support, while religion remains a key source of strength and comfort in a foreign environment. Conversations with the interviewees reveal a desire to return to the Philippines, but this plan often depends on achieving financial goals. In conclusion, the research highlights the complexity of migration pathways shaped by financial, cultural, social, and personal factors. These findings suggest the need for a broader understanding of migration pathways, taking into account the interplay of numerous factors influencing migrants' decisions about their future destinations.
