Immigration Policy is the country policy that handles the transit of people across its borders to the country, but especially those who intend to work and live in the country. Immigration policies can range from not allowing migration at all to allow for most types of migration, such as free immigration. Often, racial or religious biases are related to immigration policies (eg, a country may only allow the acceptance of a commonwealth citizen). The policy of ethnic relationships within a country can usually be broadly categorized as 'assimilationist' or 'multiculturalist'.

• The taxes, tariffs and trade rules that determine what immigrants can carry, what services they can take while in the country, and who is allowed to remain like the EU has little restriction on immigration in them. Almost every citizen or resident of one of the signatory countries (with the possible exception of some new member states) may move and find employment anywhere within the EU, and there is little that member states can do to stop it without leaving the EU or renegotiating the treaty.
• An investment policy that allows wealthy immigrants to invest in business in return for favorable treatment, the issuance of an initial passport and a permanent resident status.
• Agricultural policy, which can make exceptions for migrant farm workers, who usually enter the country only for the harvest season and then return to developing countries (such as Mexico or Jamaica often sending workers to the US and Canada).
• Excess, which can be blamed for the spread of Tuberculosis or the boom in house prices
• Birth rate, which is low in developed countries

An important aspect of immigration policy is the treatment of refugees, more or less powerless or stateless people who throw themselves at the mercy of the state they are entering, seeking protection from ill-treatment in their home country.

With increasing terrorism around the world, another major concern is the national security of countries that allow people to cross the border. The belief is that terrorists can come from abroad. These concerns often lead to annoying security searches and tighter visa requirements that can prevent immigration, temporary visitors, and even movements in countries or births in countries.

There is often pressure on the state to loosen its immigration or inspection policy to allow tourism and business relocation to a country, from unstable territory.

Asylum is given to those who face persecution or fear of persecution because of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
