Immigration

Immigration is the process by which individuals move from one country to another with the intention of settling there, either temporarily or permanently. It involves the legal and administrative aspects of entering and residing in a foreign nation, often requiring visas or permits. Immigration can occur for various reasons, including economic opportunities, family reunification, education, and escape from conflict or persecution. It impacts both the migrants and the host country, affecting social, economic, and cultural dynamics. Immigration policies vary widely between countries and are influenced by factors such as political climate, labor market needs, and humanitarian considerations.
