;Hypothesis of emigration to [[Argentina]]: proposed by Erasmo Recami and Carlo Artemi (who has developed a detailed hypothetical reconstruction of Majorana's possible emigration to and life in Argentina){{citation needed|date=June 2017}}

;Hypothesis of emigration to [[Venezuela]]: [[Rai 3]] talk show "''Chi l'ha Visto?''" published a statement stating that Majorana was alive between 1955 and 1959, living in [[Valencia, Carabobo|Valencia]], [[Venezuela]] under the surname of "Bini".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mosconi |first1=Barbara |year=2015 |url=https://www.sorrisi.com/tv/mistero-majorana-risolto-chi-l-ha-visto/ |title='Il mistero Majorana risolto grazie a "Chi l'ha visto" |access-date=20 December 2020 }}</ref>

;Hypothesis of retirement into a [[monastery]]: proposed by [[Leonardo Sciascia|Sciascia]] (putatively the [[wikt:charterhouse|Charterhouse]] of [[Serra San Bruno]]). Sciascia ruled out suicide on the grounds that Majorana was a devout [[Catholic]]. Majorana's family and his priest Monsignor Francesco Riccieri also rule out suicide, favouring the option of spiritual retreat. Sciascia believes that Majorana wanted to disappear because he foresaw that nuclear forces would lead to nuclear explosives and he wanted no part of it.<ref name="frontiers">{{cite web |last=Leonard |first=Mary |date=2015 |title=The Majorana mystery |url=https://frontiersmagazine.org/post-02/ |website=Frontiers Magazine |access-date=February 19, 2025 |quote=Sciascia rules this out on the grounds that Majorana was a devout Catholic.
