What Is Permanent Residency?
Permanent residency is a legal status granted to individuals, allowing them to reside, work, and access certain benefits in a foreign country without the need for continuous visa renewals. While permanent residents are not citizens, they enjoy many of the same rights, including the ability to live and work in the country indefinitely.

Many countries allow permanent residents to apply for citizenship after meeting certain residency requirements.
5. Family Reunification
Permanent residency often allows family members to join you in the host country.

1. Employment-Based Residency
For individuals who have secured long-term employment or possess skills in high demand.
2. Family-Based Residency
