Residence Permit

A residence permit is an official authorization issued by a country's government allowing a foreign individual to live there legally for a specific period. It often depends on reasons like work, study, family reunification, or humanitarian grounds. This permit grants rights similar to those of citizens in areas such as healthcare, education, and employment, though it doesn't usually include voting rights. Residence permits vary by country in terms of requirements and validity, and holders must adhere to specific rules and renewal processes to maintain their legal status during their stay.
