Immigration to Europe

Immigration to Europe means that people from other countries come to live in Europe. Just like when you visit your friend's house to play with them, people from other countries want to come and live in Europe for different reasons. They may come to Europe because their country is not safe, they want a better life or they want to study and work.

Before they can come to Europe, they have to tell the government why they want to come, and the government checks if it's safe and okay for them to come. This is called getting a visa.

Once they arrive in Europe, they can live in different countries like France, Germany, Spain or Italy. They have to learn the new language and get used to the different culture. It can be very difficult and scary at first, but it can also be very exciting.

Sometimes, people who come to Europe are not allowed to stay because they don't have the right papers or because they did something wrong. It's important that everyone follows the rules.

Overall, immigration to Europe means that people from other countries come to live and work in Europe for different reasons, but they have to follow certain rules to be allowed to stay.
