Introduction: Migrant women, especially those of reproductive age, are in a more vulnerable situation, facing barriers that compromise access to reproductive planning and comprehensive health care. Primary health care nurses play a strategic role in ensuring sexual and reproductive care. Objective: To analyze the barriers and facilitators encountered by nurses working in services related to reproductive planning for migrant women. Methods: A qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study was conducted with 20 nurses working in primary health care units in Boa Vista-RR. Data collection took place during the month of October. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results: Two categories were developed: 1) Facilitators for nurses' work in reproductive planning for migrant women, highlighting free access, timely practices, welcoming environment, and bonding; 2) Barriers to nurses' work in reproductive planning for migrant women, pointing to language barriers, economic issues, discrimination, xenophobia, and cultural diversity. Conclusion: Barriers and facilitators related to the role of nurses in providing care to migrant women can help implement relationships and actions that improve reproductive planning for migrant women.
