Bisnis.com, JAKARTA – Permanent resident status is an attractive option for many people who want to live and work in other countries without having to change citizenship.
Even if they don’t have citizenship of that country, permanent resident status holders can legally live and work in that country without having to worry about immigration issues.
Even with permanent resident status, it is easier for a person to access various public services, such as health and education, and provide flexibility to work and do business in the country.
Here is a list of countries that offer the convenience of obtaining permanent resident status and citizenship:
