irregular migration

Irregular migration refers to when individuals move across borders without following the legal procedures required by the destination country's immigration laws. This can happen through unauthorized entry, overstaying visas, or without proper documentation. People may do this seeking safety, better economic opportunities, or escaping conflicts. Irregular migration often involves risks such as exploitation, dangerous journeys, and legal challenges. Governments manage it through border controls and immigration policies while also addressing the underlying reasons why people migrate irregularly.
