In April 2021, Migrant Forum Asia released a report on the issue of wage theft, analysing over 700 cases documented by member and partner organisations between December 2019 and February 2021. Among those recorded was a case of a Filipina worker who worked as an on-call cleaner in Saudi Arabia. Her contract was unfairly cut short and she had to borrow money from co-workers because her medical care was not covered by insurance. Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown they received half salary and sometimes only food. Her agency only partially paid for her journey back home.

In April 2021, Migrant Forum Asia released a report on the issue of wage theft, analysing over 700 cases documented by member and partner organisations between December 2019 and February 2021. Among those recorded was a case of 20 Nepali workers who were recruited through Fazal Int. Pvt. Ltd to work with Sharq Transport as drivers. They were not provided with driving licenses, were given old vehicles which broke down and resulted in attacks on them by police and locals. During lockdown money provided for their petrol was greatly reduced and the workers were working longer hours for less money than was contracted.

In April 2021, Migrant Forum Asia released a report on the issue of wage theft, analysing over 700 cases documented by member and partner organisations between December 2019 and February 2021. Among those recorded was a case study from a worker at Nasser Al-Hajri Corporation between 2006 and 2020. His salary did not match that told to him during recruitment, the staff behaviour on-site was "inhumane", they were not allowed to go on leave without providing a "colleague as assurance" or providing a deposit for their iqama (visa) renewal. The low wages meant worker's wished to leave but non-returning meant colleagues' wages were deducted. Workers did not receive end-of-service benefits following COVID-19 and later learned that those terminated during the pandemic would not receive promised benefits.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted millions of migrant workers in destination countries, many of whom have experienced job loss or non-payment of wages, been forced by employers to take unpaid leave or reduced wages, been confined in poor living conditions, and with little or no engagement in the work options before them. Many migrant workers struggled with the dilemma of exercising their right to return in these circumstances, while others remain stranded in cities without access to services or support, or in border areas, living in precarious conditions posing as quarantine facilities.
