Permanent residency is a person's legal resident status in a country or territory of which such person is not a citizen but where they have the right to reside on a permanent basis. This is usually for a permanent period; a person with such legal status is known as a permanent resident. In the United States, such a person is referred to as a green card holder but more formally as a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR).

The permanent residency itself is distinct from the right of abode, which waives immigration control for such persons. Persons having permanent residency still require immigration control if they do not have the right of abode. However, a right of abode automatically grants people permanent residency. This status also gives a work permit in most cases. In many Western countries, the status of permanent resident confers a right of abode upon the holder despite not being a citizen of the particular country.

Not every nation allows permanent residency. Rights and applications may vary widely.
