Immigration law refers to national government policies which control the phenomenon of immigration to their country. Immigration law is related to nationality law, which governs the legal status of people, in matters such as citizenship. Immigration laws vary from country to country, as well as according to the political climate of the times, as sentiments may sway from the widely inclusive to the deeply exclusive, with respect to foreign peoples from entering.

Certain countries may maintain rather strict laws which regulate the entry, the duration of stay, the right to work, participate in government, etc. Most countries have laws which designate a process for naturalization, by which immigrants may become citizens.
