A permanent work permit is an official document that allows a foreign national to live and work in a country indefinitely. This permit is typically granted after meeting specific eligibility criteria, such as having a job offer from an employer or demonstrating skills that are in demand within the country. Obtaining a permanent work permit often involves a detailed application process, which may include background checks and proof of qualifications. Once granted, it provides the holder with the same rights as a local employee, including access to benefits and the ability to change jobs without losing their residency status.
