Abstract
Studying return intentions relies on showing what factors can relate to the choice of return to the country of origin. This study aimed to understand the return intentions of Syria refugees in the Netherlands when actual return is not yet possible, from a qualitative approach and within the Reasoned action approach theoretical frame work. Finding revealed that intentions differ when distinguishing between permanent and temporarily return. Also intentions can be expressed with certainty as well as uncertainty. Return was expressed to be difficult when considering the reasons for leaving and imagining reintegration. Moreover, motives for return were related to return intentions. Official procedures, safety and personal capability were taken into account when thinking about return intentions. Lastly, even though thinking about return is a part of the participant’s daily lives, it did not seem to affect their thoughts and perceptions on integration and building a new life in the Netherlands.
