Warum ist die georgische Einwanderung in nordische Länder relativ gering?

Maybe because there is so cold and people doesn’t want to go there because of winter and freezing conditions, also it is a far away. Georgians prefer to go following countries: Germany, Poland, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, russia and of course the USA.

Harder to get citizenship or visa there, immigration controll is doing their job in this countries, Jobs are less for illegal immigrants and its cold

Most of the time Georgians are illegal immigrants

I think it’s immigration rules bound, even more than weather and temperature (which surely also plays a role). NL is a clear example if this map is right. No geographical need for so less immigration compared to its surrounding countries, but their immigration is incredibly strict compared to their neighbours

1) Population Size. This map measures total numbers. Norway’s population is about 5.5m. Italy’s, 59m. This plays a role.

2) Historical Patterns: The role of the diaspora is very important in facilitating chain migration and family reunification. Traditionally, the Nordics have not had a large stock of Georgians.

3) Regulations: Georgia is not part of the EU / EEA. The Nordics got refugees from all over the world and their labor migrants primarily from Eastern Europe (but those states within the EU). Georgians could not migrate easily, therefore made it to those countries where they found it easier (e.g., Russia, Turkey). There are some Georgian refugees (e.g., some who fled Abkhazia) in the Nordics, but the numbers are very small.

My close friend was in Iceland, they have visited some remoted little settlement (not even the village) on remoted peninsula.

My friend and his wife was choosing some souvenirs in the local shop (and only shop) there. Suddenly the Shop owner typical nord woman said Gamardjoba Genatsvale 😀

The story is some Georgian woman went on iceland , lives there and teaches iceland people Georgian cousine and language 😀 She even buys wine in Georgia and shares it with her neighbors. And That woman is a most loved and fun one in the Neighborhood 😀

So, there are few emigrants out there in north but their number is too low.

Georgian immigration to Nordic countries is low mainly because of **high living costs, strict language and job requirements**, and the fact that many Georgians prefer moving to places with established communities like Germany or Russia where settling is easier

Weather, immigration rules, relatively meager job opportunities (SE has been in a bit of a recession for a while now) and little to no informal work sector (seriously, most industries are governed by trade unions, and being a Sole Trader/Entrepreneur and running a business alone comes with a 60% total tax burden that most are unwilling to pay)

Passport control grilled my GF moderately hard on arrival when she landed at Arlanda to spend a month with me in SE, and she not only had a letter of invitation from me, but also full flight itinerary, photos of my passport, proof of insurance, proof of existing job back home, AND a live flight tracker of my own flight from my old home country active on her phone

They were still skeptical

Not as much as German passport control was with friends of ours who had gone on trips to Berlin a year earlier, but still, stricter than she was expecting

You don’t even see very many American or Canadian immigrants in Sweden (maybe other Nordics too, idk) either. It’s maybe a vacation place, but mostly the southern counties. Whenever I’m in Sweden, up north, I can go weeks without hearing another American accent. Sweden is not really a first destination for most people 😅

And here in Georgia, the only Swedes I have ever encountered were embassy staff, and they themselves admitted they have very little to do because there are hardly any Swedes in the country to service

There is little to no cross-pollination between GE and SE

Which makes the prestige status of Swedes here a little surprising

It be cold
