- What are Residence Permits and Permanent Residency?
A residence permit is a document that allows you to legally reside in another country for a specified period. Typically, it is granted for one to several years, depending on the purpose of your stay, such as work, study, or family reasons. It's important to note that an residence permit needs to be renewed periodically, and you must meet certain conditions set by the host country to maintain it.
Permanent residency is a status that allows you to live in another country indefinitely. Unlike an residence permit, permanent residency does not require regular renewal, and the holder enjoys almost the same rights as the country's citizens, with exceptions such as the right to vote in national elections and some other civil privileges. Generally, to obtain permanent residency, you need to live in the country with an residence permit for a certain number of years and meet specific requirements.

- What is the difference between a residence permit and citizenship?
A residence permit allows you to legally live in another country for a certain period, usually from one to several years, and requires regular renewal. A residence permit grants the right to live and, depending on the type, to work, but does not provide all the rights of citizens.
Citizenship, on the other hand, is for life, does not require renewal, and grants a full set of rights and privileges, including the right to vote and access social services. Citizens are required to abide by all the country's laws and pay taxes, and they may also have military obligations.
