Right to Reside

The Right to Reside refers to a person's legal entitlement to live in a particular country or area. It means that someone has the lawful authority to stay in that country, either permanently or temporarily, based on their immigration status or nationality. This right is often granted through citizenship, permanent residency, or valid visas. It’s important because it determines whether an individual can legally remain in a location without facing deportation or eviction. Authorities may check this right when issuing services, benefits, or confirming someone's eligibility to stay.
