Abstract Taking the migration trajectory of the subject as the cue, the existing empirical studies on migration infrastructure mainly focus on four aspects: The migration infrastructure in the process of departure and entry, the migration infrastructure in the process of stay and settlement, the migration infrastructure in the context of forced migration, and the migration infrastructure breaking the spatial scale. The findings are as follows: 1) The technological and regulatory migration infrastructures play the function of serving as the material foundation and guaranteeing the basic rights of the migrants respectively which shape the mobility behavior of the subject. 2) The "from-the-above" migration infrastructures, including the commercial, technological and regulatory part, can alleviate the precarity of the migrants' economy or settlement. 3) From the perspective of a broader scope of services space, with "online migration infrastructure" and "human migration infrastructure" to represent the core part of both breaking the defining borders of flowing space, and breaking through the space between real and virtual, which constitute the potential social capital of migrants. 4) In the condition of forced migration, "deportation infrastructure" reflects the national position and the willingness of the government in the context of transferring targeted objects.
