Immigration Policy

Immigration policy refers to the set of laws, regulations, and procedures that a country establishes to control the entry, stay, and exit of foreign nationals. It encompasses the criteria and processes by which individuals may immigrate, including visa requirements, residency permits, refugee status, and citizenship applications. Immigration policy aims to regulate how many people can enter a country, what conditions they must meet, and how long they can stay. It addresses various aspects, such as family reunification, labor needs, humanitarian considerations, national security, and the integration of immigrants into society. The policies can vary significantly from one country to another and can be influenced by economic, social, and political factors.
