Immigration

Immigration is the process through which individuals or groups move from their home country to another country with the intention of settling there permanently or for an extended period. This movement can occur for various reasons, including economic opportunities, family reunification, educational pursuits, or fleeing conflict and persecution. Immigration often involves legal procedures and requirements, such as obtaining visas, residency permits, or asylum status, depending on the laws of the destination country. The phenomenon of immigration can significantly influence the demographic, cultural, and economic landscape of both the originating and receiving countries. It also encompasses the social and political policies that govern these movements, as well as the challenges and contributions immigrants face in adapting to their new environments.
