Immigration

Immigration refers to the process by which individuals move from one country to another with the intention of settling there permanently or for an extended period. It involves legal and bureaucratic procedures that allow people to obtain residency or citizenship in a new country. Immigration can occur for various reasons, including economic opportunities, family reunification, education, or escaping conflict and persecution. It plays a crucial role in shaping the demographics, economy, and culture of destination countries. Immigration policies and regulations, which vary widely from one country to another, dictate the criteria and processes for entry, residency, and naturalization.
