Immigration Policy

Immigration Policy refers to a set of laws, regulations, and practices that a country implements to manage the entry, residence, and departure of foreign individuals within its borders. This policy encompasses various aspects, including the criteria for immigration, the rights and responsibilities of immigrants, pathways to citizenship or residency, the enforcement of immigration laws, and responses to immigration-related issues such as asylum and refugee protections. Immigration policies can vary significantly between countries, influenced by factors such as economic needs, demographic goals, national security considerations, and humanitarian obligations. They play a crucial role in shaping a country’s demographics, labor market, and socio-cultural environment.
