What is the difference between emigration and migration

Many people want to know if the concepts of an emigrant and a migrant differ in some way, what is the difference between them.

In both cases, we are talking about a change in the usual place of residence or stay. At the same time, there are some nuances that you need to know.

The degree of tolerance in society also matters - even if an emigrant has a good job and adapts to national characteristics, the local population may treat him with a certain degree of wariness.

Legal aspects of the procedure

Many countries, in particular, have strong requirements for those who wish to enter their territory. That is why it is far from always that an emigrant becomes a welcome guest in a foreign country. Camps for temporarily displaced persons, where the minimum necessary social and living conditions are not always present, are becoming the norm. That is why it is strongly recommended to clarify the procedure for entering the country in advance.

Another aspect directly related to emigration concerns moving with other family members. When it comes to emergencies or hostilities, the entry of citizens into another country is regulated by international law.

Temporary migrants are equated with refugees who need immediate assistance. The state that received them on its territory is not obliged to grant them a residence permit. As the consequences of the epidemic, famine or man-made disaster are eliminated, citizens must return to their permanent place of residence.
