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.

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.

Some destinations absorb newcomers through informal or semi-formal work (domestic care, construction sub-contracting, hospitality niches). Nordic labor markets tend to be more compliance-heavy (contracts, unions/collective agreements, inspections), so it’s harder for a brand-new migrant without local language and credentials to get traction.

And it seems that there is no migration towards The Netherlands while there is towards all surrounding countries. Why is that?
