Immigration

Immigration is the process through which individuals move from one country to another with the intention of establishing permanent or semi-permanent residence. This movement is often motivated by various factors, such as economic opportunities, family reunification, education, or escaping conflict or persecution. Immigration can involve legal frameworks, including visas and residency permits, as well as irregular movements. It can significantly impact the demographics, culture, and economy of both the receiving and the sending countries. The term encompasses a wide range of experiences and policies, reflecting the complexities of human mobility and the legal, social, and political contexts in which it occurs.
