VOCACION DE PERMANENCIA

16:50 Mar 15, 2020
Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Migration of venezuelans into other countries
Spanish term or phrase: VOCACION DE PERMANENCIA
This pertains not just to a "long term commitment" that one may have toward a company or a relationship, but it is more about the decision Venezuelan migrants have made to stay in other countries like Colombia, USA, etc.

The term is used in Spanish by migration agencies and NGOs.

I would appreciate any input on a specific, equivalent term in English.

will to remain


Explanation:
From the Little information given in the question I would think it refers to inmigration law. The expression in English only refers to whether a person has the intention or will to remain in the country.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  philgoddard: I think "wish" or "intention" would be more appropriate than "will". Depending on the context, you might need to add a few words, such as "Venezuelan immigrants' wish to remain in their adopted countries."
