Immigration Policy

Immigration policy refers to the laws, regulations, and practices that a country establishes to manage the entry, stay, and status of non-citizens within its borders. This policy dictates who is allowed to enter the country, under what conditions, and the processes for obtaining relevant visas or residency permits. It encompasses various aspects such as employment, asylum, family reunification, and refugee status.

Immigration policy can vary widely between countries and may include criteria based on skills, family connections, humanitarian needs, and security considerations. It also addresses issues related to undocumented immigrants, border control, and the integration of immigrants into society. The effectiveness and fairness of immigration policy are often subjects of political debate and can shape demographic trends, economic conditions, and cultural dynamics within a nation.
