[edit] Legal aspects of emigration

I was hoping to find here some mention of the legal implications of emigration in various countries - e.g. effects on citizenship, taxation, property. Common restrictions on emigration (exit visas come to mind), and unofficial emigration (an extended holiday that never ends).

[edit] Merging with Immigration

• Do not merge 'emigration' with 'immigration.' Both are different entities, possessing various unique characteristics that serve each in their own capacity, making them distinctly separate. And such they should remain, categorically speaking.

yeah i totally agree with #2

• Do not merge. Although from an individualist perspective, the content would be mostly the same (an immigrant is an emigrant), from a sociological perspective, the two are very different. If we wish to focus on the sociological, economic, and other implications of mass emmigration out of a particular country, such a discussion would be out of place in an article on immigration. Mass exodus from a country can have distinct societal effects that are very different from mass immigration into another.DavidGC 00:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Result: Do not merge. Merge has been proposed for over one month. With no votes to merge, closing vote and removing template. --DavidGC 06:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Do not merge Emigration is a different entity from Immigration (wotansuomi)

[edit] Emigration by country

Often articles dealing with migrants deal with their countries of destination, e.g. Italian-Americans. We seem to have few articles such as Polish emigration. Though I lack the requisite knowledge to write such an article, I'd be more than happy to copyedit it ;) --Zantastik talk 20:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC) i wonder if there are any polish people left in poland. they seem to be all over. u see pl licence plates in many places.

GREAT IDEA (wotansuomi)

[edit] Have its own category?

I think the article should be in Category:Emigration (which at present redirects) along with the emigrants (in the same way as is done with immigration and immigrants). Robin Patterson (talk) 14:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unferencednes

I removed the "unreferenced" template since there are some references. If there are concerns about specific statements being unreferenced, please annotate them specifically. Daf (talk) 06:23, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
