Citizenship refers to legal membership in a country. It is the highest legal status in a nation, granting certain fundamental rights and responsibilities, such as the right to vote, work, reside permanently, and access various government services.
Immigration status, on the other hand, refers to the specific legal category that determines an individual’s permission to be in a country for a certain period for specific purposes. Immigration status can vary depending on factors such as the purpose of the person’s stay, their country of origin, the type of visa they hold, and the specific immigration laws of the respective country.
