Does your nation take in refugees? If so, from where? How are they accommodated? Do they need to have a sponsor before they can enter?
Refugees are accepted from various regions, particularly from places devastated by armed conflict or disasters (e.g. famine). Refugees may also be accepted if they are fleeing from a place where they may be persecuted. An open integration policy in Pavonistade helps refugees integrate in Pavonistadian society while allowing them to maintain their culture. A refugee would need to be sponsored by a group of at least three people, which must prove they can provide the refugee(s) with necessities and resources for one year.

In general, what is the population's stance on immigrants/refugees? What is your native population's opinion of them (are they looked down upon, accepted, etc)?
Pavonistadian stance towards immigrants/refugees are neutral-to-positive. There is a slight negative stigma for immigrants that choose not to integrate into Pavonistadian society (e.g. not attempting to learn Pavon or Luziycan). On the other hand, immigrants that contribute greatly to Pavonistade are very positively recognized for their efforts.

Immigrants are required to learn enough Pavon or Luziycan to get through daily life. Speaking enough Pavon and Luziycan is also a requirement for citizenship.

15.8% of Pavonistadians are foreign-born.

Where do most of your nation's immigrants/refugees tend to live?
Immigrants either live together in certain ethnic enclaves, or are spread out in urban or suburban areas.

What kind of paperwork is required for entry/immigration into your nation? Are these papers hard to obtain?
One must submit an immigration application to the Pavonistadian Department of Immigration Services, under the Ministry of Domestic Affairs. The application must be accepted, which indicated that the person has proven that they can contribute to Pavonistadian society or otherwise have a valid reason to immigrate. One must also submit also all necessary documents for identification (e.g. birth certificates).

What is your nation's policy on visitors from another nation/tourists into your nation?
A visitors may be free to travel to Pavonistade, or travel there without a visa, with a visa (on or before arrival), or with special arrangements. All such requirements depend on what country is being dealt with. Pavonistade usually reciprocates the visa/travel policies of a country; for example, if country X allows Pavonistadians citizens to travel there without a visa, Pavonistade should allow Country X citizens to travel under the same visa-free conditions. Sterile travel is permitted.

Would your nation accept refugees from a country it was fighting in a war against?
Yes. Any such refugees would be put through stringent vetting processes to ensure they are not a risk to Pavonistadian society or people.

[Sezraha]

How strict are your nation's borders?
It depends. Some areas are patrolled more strictly than others. For example, in the mountainous areas of the north, there are no fences and only a few signs, due to the harsh environment which means that immigrants find it very difficult to cross. On the other hand, the nation's oceans are patrolled quite frequently and strictly due to our situation as an island, many immigrants tend to arrive by boat.
From where do the majority of your nation's immigrants come from?
Mostly from Eastern European or Balkan countries.
How long does it take for an immigrant to become a legal citizen in your nation/what are the requirements?
Everybody is vetted. If you don't pass the vetting (significant criminal record, intent on terror, etc) your application will be denied until you can prove that you are not a danger to our country. Almost everybody must pass a beginner's language test - unless you can prove that you or the person you're applying for is too old/young/has other problems, etc. After passing the test (scoring 70% or above), you may apply through the following methods:
MARRIAGE - a person becomes an automatic citizen of Sezraha upon marriage to a Sezran citizen.
BIRTHRIGHT - a person born to a Sezran parent automatically becomes a citizen of Sezraha, no matter where in the world they are born. This is unless the parent specifically denies Sezran citizenship to the child such as due to obtaining another from a nation where dual nationality is not permitted or under another circumstance. A non-citizen born in Sezraha to non-Sezran parents can apply for citizenship upon their first birthday. They must have lived with a parent or guardian in Sezraha for the duration of the year, or they will have to wait another year and try again.
NATURALISATION - a registered refugee may become a naturalized citizen after living in Sezraha continuously for 2 years upon completion of the NIT (national integration test), attendance of at least 2 skills training workshops and applying for a job (unless too young/old/other problem, etc). Other applicants must have lived in Sezraha continuously for 3 years, and have completed the NIT. You must have previously applied for asylum before entering or upon entry to Sezraha (unless you can prove an extreme circumstance) or you will be deported if caught and will have to enter again.
Does your nation take in refugees? If so, from where? How are they accommodated? Do they need to have a sponsor before they can enter?
Yes. We don't take in many right now, but during the past many refugees came to settle in Sezraha after fleeing from the Balkan war, following the process mentioned above.
In general, what is the population's stance on immigrants/refugees? What is your native population's opinion of them (are they looked down upon, accepted, etc)?
Nobody really cares. A citizen is considered a citizen, no matter what.
Are immigrants required to learn your nation's first language/any other things to assimilate into your nation's culture?
They must pass the NIT and a beginner's language test.
What percentage of your population are immigrants?
About 80%, if you include Sezran citizens from other backgrounds. The native Sezran population is very low. Of this, about 25% are non-citizen immigrants.
Where do most of your nation's immigrants/refugees tend to live?
Multigenerational immigrants tend to live nearer cities where there are more skilled jobs available. Recent immigrants tend to work in factories or farms in more rural areas, but there are of course many exceptions.
What kind of paperwork is required for entry/immigration into your nation? Are these papers hard to obtain?
You need to supply a fingerprint and a document with a recent picture of you.
What is your nation's policy on visitors from another nation/tourists into your nation?
Tourism is quite a big sector in Sezraha. Visitors from certain neighboring countries have a legal right to residence in Sezraha after passing the vetting and tests. Visitors from other countries will have to apply online, and, depending on the country, may have to be interviewed at an embassy. We welcome anyone from anywhere who has applied for a visa. Most tourist visas expire after a month, while business visas after 2 and official visas after 3. One may renew their visa no more than once per year - this must be done at an embassy outside of Sezraha. After the expiry of a visa, you must apply for a new one in order to be admitted into Sezraha.
Would your nation accept refugees from a country it was fighting in a war against?
We don't have a military.
