If you’re travelling to a new country either for work, to study or even for a small vacation, there might be the possibility of you wanting to settle down there. These motivations can range from personal and professional goals to seeking better living conditions or escaping social challenges.
Relocating to a new country can be difficult, and if you have plans to settle down, we know that getting citizenship can be a complex process. So, we’ll help simplify it for you.
First, let’s understand the difference between getting citizenship and permanent residency in a foreign country.
|
Basis |
Citizenship |
Permanent Residency (PR) |
|
Definition |
A citizen is a legitimate member of a country. When someone is granted citizenship, they become a legal member of that country and have all the rights and responsibilities of a citizen. |
To be a permanent resident of a country, you must be a legal resident of that country, even if you are not a citizen. |
|
Process of Obtaining Status |
To become a citizen, a person usually needs to go through a naturalization process, which often includes meeting residency requirements, passing language and civics tests, and demonstrating good moral character. |
Obtaining permanent residency typically involves meeting eligibility criteria, such as employment sponsorship, family reunification, or investment, and may include a waiting period. |
|
Example |
For example: One can become a citizen of a particular country as a result of being born in a country, having lived there for 5-10 years, or having been granted refugee status by the government. |
For example: Permanent residents in the United States of America, for example, are often referred to as ‘green card holders.’ Permanent residence can be achieved by legally residing in the country for five or seven years. |
|
Renewal |
There is no need to renew citizenship and it can't be cancelled. |
Every five years, the permanent residency card is to be renewed and it may be cancelled for various reasons. |
|
Passport Application Right |
Citizens of a country can also apply for a passport in that country. |
Permanent residents do not have the right to apply for a passport. |
|
Voting Rights |
If you are a citizen of a country, you enjoy full voting rights if you meet the country’s age criteria and can take up positions in office. |
Permanent residents may not have the right to vote in national elections or hold certain government positions, until they become citizens. |
While pursuing citizenship or permanent residency abroad, many Indians begin by travelling on long-term visas—whether for education, work, or family reasons. During this transitional period, having a comprehensive travel insurance policy becomes essential.
Not only does it safeguard you against medical emergencies and trip-related uncertainties, but it’s also a mandatory requirement in several countries when applying for visas or permits. Before starting your citizenship journey, it’s wise to secure a travel insurance plan tailored to your destination and duration of stay.
