Residence Visa
What is a Residence Visa?
A Residence Visa allows foreign nationals to live in a country for an extended period—typically beyond 6 or 12 months. It is granted for various purposes such as employment, family reunification, investment, study, retirement, or humanitarian reasons. Most residence visas are renewable and, in many cases, serve as a pathway to permanent residency or citizenship after a qualifying period. Holders of a residence visa can access essential services like healthcare, education, and banking, while contributing to local communities and economies.

Individuals relocating abroad for work, study, family, investment, or retirement purposes.
