Residency Act

The Residency Act is a legal framework that sets the rules and criteria for determining when an individual is considered a resident of a particular area or country. It typically defines residency for purposes like taxation, voting rights, and access to public services. Factors influencing residency status may include duration of stay, intention to establish domicile, and physical presence. The act aims to clarify rights and responsibilities associated with being a resident, ensuring legal consistency in matters such as legal jurisdiction, resource allocation, and civic participation.
