Permanent residency refers to a person's visa status: the person is allowed to reside indefinitely within a country despite not having citizenship. A person with such status is known as a permanent resident.
Also known as Legal residence (Tax resident), which is colloquially meant by "permanent residency" in most contexts where visas and citizenship issues do not generally apply.
Legal residence is the principle that each legal person (natural or corporate) has a single location of primary residence. This is of relevance with respect to taxation and other state-imposed obligations, but is also important with respect to the determination of citizenship or nationality.
