right to remain
Silence during arrest
Right to remain is a legal phrase referring to someone's entitlement to stay in a particular place, most often a country.
It appears frequently in immigration contexts: Her right to remain in the UK depended on her visa status.
The phrase also echoes in the Miranda warning's "right to remain silent," though that's a separate legal concept about self-incrimination during police questioning.
