When considering moving to another country, be sure to take a look at our list of the 10 worst countries to immigrate to.
There are many reasons why people may make the decision to leave their home country, including terrorism, rebellion, poverty, starvation, and other factors. It is a difficult choice to make, but many people have had to leave their home country in search of a better life. While some are fortunate enough to be able to bring their entire families, others make the journey alone and attempt to send money home to support their loved ones.

Unfortunately, many countries that are easier to immigrate to are the very countries that so many are looking to flee. Less developed countries are far less likely to turn away immigrants, as they often desperately need the influx of people to work and add something to the community. More developed countries can fear being open to immigrants, as they tend to be self-sustained (and thus do not have as desperate of a need for immigrants in the workforce and community) and fearful that people fleeing their own tumultuous countries may be dangerous. Please feel free to peruse our list of 8 easiest developed countries to immigrate to, for some countries that are an exception.
In order to appear on our list of worst countries to immigrate to, the country must offer very poor living conditions. Considering that this is a difficult thing to quantify, we weighed these specific factors, in this order: whether the country is currently at war, rates of starvation, poverty, lack of healthcare, human rights issues and level of education. We retrieved this information from News World U.S. Now, let’s see our list of worst countries to immigrate to.
10. Iran
Strict Islamic rule permeates every facet of Iranian society, which is not ideal for everyone. Women also do not tend to have many legal rights. Iran is also not on good terms with its neighbors or many of the world’s leading countries.

9. North Korea
People living in North Korea are completely cut off from the outside world. This is still very much a dictatorship, and the people living there are not afforded any political rights, and must agree with everything that Kim Jong-un says for fear of death.

8. Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the most problematic African countries to immigrate to. With more than a half of the population surviving off of farming, they are facing poverty due to overused land, dependence on rain, and lack of agricultural technology. It is also one of the worst-rated African countries when it comes to their healthcare system.

7. Sudan
Sudan has found its place on our list due to a suffering economy, lack of political stability, lack of national security, and lack of human rights. This country is currently at war, which means people are dying every day. The citizens of Sudan are also dying from starvation and lack of medications.

6. Democratic Republic of Congo
Democratic Republic of Congo is another country in the world where starvation, poverty, and civil war are massively affecting its citizens. Prostitution, rape, and abuse of women and children are uncommonly frequent.

5. Syria
Syria is currently living through a civil war between its government and the terrorist organization ISIS. Because of their rich land, a lot of powerful countries are trying to take advantage of their current situation. Syrians also lack basic human rights.

The infrastructure in Iraq is very poor, and because of the current civil war, many Iraqi citizens are in need of new homes and food. Iraq has earned its place on our list as one of the worst countries to immigrate to.

As in many other undeveloped countries, Pakistan is facing poverty, starvation, lack of education, and unemployment. Most people live in rural areas and are afforded almost no human rights. The North-Western areas of Pakistan have been living through a war since 2004.
