Victoria 3, the grand strategy game is finally here after a long wait. Players have been awaiting a sequel of Victoria II which was released twelve years ago in 2010. The new game is even bigger as it spans a hundred years from 1836 to 1936 and allows the players to choose between any of the hundred countries that were existing during this time period. You can grow your population, called pops, from almost nothing, and even go to war with other countries. In this guide, we will take you through the process of how migration and emigration works in Victoria 3.
Victoria 3: How to Use Migration Laws
In Victoria, your people can move around in the same market which is called Migration. This might happen if they want to change their standards of living, or if they feel restricted by new infrastructure or laws. Pops will usually move from a place with low Migration Attraction to somewhere with higher Migration Attraction.

You can choose to have Migration enabled or disabled. If you have it enabled, Migration will take place among the pops over time. There are some laws in place regarding Migration which can be dictated by you. You can access Migration Laws in the Laws menu, under the Human Rights section. There are three Migration Law options that you can choose from:
- No Migration Controls: Pops are free to move around if they wish to.
- Migration Controls: There are some restrictions on which pops can move around, usually on the basis of culture or religion.
- Closed Borders: No internal or external migration is possible.
Places with a high level of Migration Attraction will attract more pops, which means a higher standard of living for them. It is possible to increase your Migration Attraction by increasing the standard of living, for which we already have a guide which you can check out here: Victoria 3 – How to Increase Standard of Living.
You can improve your Migration Attraction by setting The Greener Grass Decree and the Colonial Resettlement Law.
