Visa Policy of Nogodrick (Ultima)

The visa policy of Nogodrick details the steps a foreigner wishing to enter Nogodrick must meet to obtain a visa. Generally, unless an individual is arriving from a nation that is visa exempt (i.e God Tere Norld, Figueria, South Aszania, Dekam), they must receive a visa from a Nogod diplomatic mission. Entering overseas civilian areas such as the New Anhel, the Terran Quarter, and Port Stormrender have different requirements.

As Nogodrick has extremely strict assimilation laws and does not permit first generation immigrants to become citizens until at least one biological, adopted, or guardianship child has earned theirs, immigration for the sake of becoming a citizen is somewhat rare. If an individual is immigrating with intent to become a citizen, they are almost exclusively from another Northern State or a former overseas territory of Nogodrick.

The 1877 Nogod Law of Return allows any individual who can verify their blood as being at least half North Volaryn and is at risk of harm to file for an immediate visa to enter the country as a refugee. The law has been invoked during the anti-foreigner pogroms in Shail and during conflicts with the Granish Federation.
