Abstract: Nowadays, return migration has become a highly publicized and actively researched subject, as an expression of the dimension that this type of migration acquires at the contemporary stage and of the effects that it induces. At the contemporary stage, several states of the world have changed their status from a state of emigration to a state of immigration, and in the current context of the global pandemic a massive return of migrants is expected amid acute economic recessions in countries with large numbers of migrants. This influx of migrants could be an important resource for the economy of some states currently dependent on the volume of remittances sent to the country by emigrants, as is the case of the Republic of Moldova. The number of migrants returning to the Republic of Moldova is currently low, and those returning are facing various reintegration problems. In this sense, the support provided by state institutions for their reintegration is absolutely indispensable. Through this study, the author aims to analyze the tools used by the structures of the state in order to provide logistical support for the socio-economic reintegration of migrants returning to the country. The analysis highlighted the existence of a concern through a legislative framework appropriate to this purpose, which is not yet fully operational. The economic reform that the Republic of Moldova is going through should offer more opportunities to the citizens of this country to work in the country, so that they do not have to leave the country.
