The theme of migration involves a wide range of aspects, contexts, and concepts inherent to the complexity of the migratory phenomenon nowadays, what requires an equally complex methodology to be understood. The present work sought to perceive, analyze, and understand the conflicts and concerns generated by the arrival and permanence of individuals in migration, as well as how and which influencing factors impact this process of integration of these actors in Portuguese society. Several historical, socio-cultural, political-economic and personal aspects have an impact on the reception of these actors. It requires the systemic perception of the various factors that permeate the whole process, which is evidenced as a systemic and autopoietic whole of multiple interconnected and reciprocally influent systems. It requires a joint understanding of the various aspects and factors that precede the leaving, arriving, staying, and returning stages that form the migratory cycle. In addition to the effects produced between them, they receive and affect influences on the constitution and transformation of the being into a stranger, leading to identity modifications that hinder the recognition of the self by oneself and by the other, and as an other equal to the self, influencing the recognition of belonging to the space-time. Allied to the framework provided by Pragmatic Sociology and the interdisciplinary use of various methodologies, methods and tools, a systematic review was carried out on the scientific evolution and conceptual breadth of the migratory phenomenon, essential to the understanding of the models used in the theoretical development of the work; case studies and data collection, ethnographic, netnographic and statistical; Content and Discourse Analysis; participant observations and interviews. The Processing was carried out with the NVivo software, with the objective of extracting the actors'justifications on various aspects of the act of migrating and interactions with other actors and space-time. These made it possible to understand the multiple aspects of interdependent influence, which impact both on the permanence and on the study of migrations itself.
