Immigration Policy

Immigration policy refers to a set of rules, regulations, and guidelines established by a government that determine how individuals from other countries can enter, reside, work, and gain citizenship in that country. It governs various aspects of immigration, including visa requirements, asylum procedures, refugee status, border control, and enforcement mechanisms. Immigration policy can influence demographic trends, economic growth, social integration, and national security. It is often shaped by political, economic, and social factors and can vary significantly between countries. The policy may also reflect the values and priorities of a nation concerning diversity, humanitarian obligations, and labor market needs.
