How do I apply for permanent residency in my study-abroad country?

To apply for permanent residency in your study-abroad country, first research the specific requirements, as they vary by nation. Common criteria include holding a valid visa, residing continuously for a set period, and demonstrating financial stability.

Next, gather necessary documents such as proof of address, employment records, and language proficiency test results. Submit an application through the country’s immigration portal or embassy, paying applicable fees.

Some countries may require interviews or additional checks. Processing times differ, so apply well before your current visa expires. Consult an immigration lawyer if needed for complex cases.
