Immigration Terminology · Global
What are long-term visit passes and residence permissions?
Simple answer
Long-term visit passes and residence permissions are longer stay statuses than a short visit. Names differ by country (for example LTVP-style passes, temporary residence, or national ID-linked stay).
What it means
They usually need stronger eligibility and documentation than a tourist entry. Conditions may limit work or study unless separately allowed.
What you may need to do
Identify the exact product name for your destination. Do not treat “long stay” marketing language as a legal category.
Country / visa warning
LTVP is a Singapore-style label; other focus markets use different names and rules. Compare like with like on each country’s official site.
Next action
Browse long-stay products for your destination on SojournHub, then verify conditions on the official authority pages.
