Residency

Who may stay, and on what status. The visa is the entry document. Any longer right to remain is described beside it.

The same comparison as the GRIP MOVE index. Each country name opens the sourced note.

Philippines
Tourist, retiree and employment statuses are issued separately.
Thailand
Non-immigrant and long-stay categories, each with its own conditions.
United Arab Emirates

A Skilled Worker visa, through a Home Office-licensed sponsor.
United States
A visit, temporary work, or permanent residence. Each is its own status.
