In the decision-making process in Tabak (2020) model, three factors must be met to be successful: Decision quality, implementation, and timing. In the article, the predictions of this decision-making model were observed on immigrants. It has been determined that those who managed to migrate act in harmony with this model. Before making a decision, the individual knows the reasons for going, examines the countries receiving immigration and collects resources. In this process, acquiring an international profession, working in an international company, learning a foreign language, visiting the target country, catching job opportunities and acquiring a social environment are the best practices of the preparation period. Migrating as a career professional or learning a profession in the place of migration facilitates the migration process. In practice, perseverance, tolerance for uncertainties, using opportunities in the country of immigration, attending language or education programs first, and leaving family members one by one bring success. In terms of timing, being young, single, childless, a child at a young age and beginning of his/her career help to move faster and more flexible.
