residence permits
Legal dwelling documents
Residence permits are official documents authorizing a foreign national to live in a country for a specified period.
They differ from visas, which typically grant entry permission; a residence permit establishes the right to stay.
Requirements vary by country—some issue permits for work, study, family reunification, or retirement.
