Immigration law is a complex area of legal practice that regulates the movement of individuals across national borders. The rules and procedures under immigration law determine who is allowed to enter a country, how long they may stay, and on what terms.

Typically, immigration law encompasses various categories of individuals, including tourists, students, workers, refugees, and family members of current residents. The law establishes criteria and procedures for each category and outlines the rights, obligations, and benefits associated with each immigration status.

Immigration law also sets forth the procedures for seeking asylum, dealing with refugees, and addressing issues of citizenship, naturalisation, and deportation. It involves understanding and complying with treaties, conventions, and agreements between countries, as well as domestic laws and regulations.

Moreover, immigration law plays a crucial role in dealing with unlawful presence and illegal immigration, providing mechanisms for enforcement and penalties for violations. The balance between the control of migration and the respect for human rights is a key aspect of this field of law.

It should be noted that immigration law can significantly differ from one jurisdiction to another due to varying political, social, and economic contexts.
