The term 'permanent residency' refers to the legal residential status of an individual in a country or territory where they are not a citizen, yet they are granted the right to live indefinitely. A 'permanent resident' is a person bestowed with such legal status.
'Permanent residency' and 'right of abode' are two different things, with the latter excusing people from immigration control. Although permanent residents are legally entitled to live in a country or territory, they still fall under immigration control if they haven't been granted the right of abode. Conversely, the right of abode inherently provides individuals with permanent residency. Moreover, this status typically includes a work permit.[1]
In numerous Western nations, despite not possessing citizenship, the status of a permanent resident bestows the right of abode. This is a testament to the significant privileges attached to the status of permanent residency.
