WORK PERMIT VS RESIDENCE PERMIT

A work permit authorises paid employment, while a temporary residence permit provides a legal basis to reside in the country. One does not replace the other in every case.

Scope of the legal review

• Compare available legal grounds
• Map filing order and timing
• Separate employer and applicant records
• Coordinate renewal dates

For the initial assessment

• Purpose of stay and activity
• Employer and role information
• Current visa and immigration records

Important note

The correct basis depends on the applicant and employer facts; deadlines must be checked before filing.

Official sources
