Permanent Residence Visas

A Permanent Residence Visa grants the holder legal permission to live in a country on a permanent basis without needing to renew their visa status every few years. While a PR visa offers many of the benefits of citizenship, it usually doesn’t provide voting rights and may not offer the same level of legal protection in some cases. However, it often acts as a stepping stone to full citizenship in some countries after a specified period.

Countries such as Canada, Australia, the U.S., New Zealand, and many European nations offer pathways to permanent residency, but the eligibility requirements and processes vary.
