What is PR (permanent residency) and how does it differ between the UK and UAE?

Permanent Residency (PR) lets you live long-term in another country. In the UK, PR is called Indefinite Leave to Remain, typically after five years with a qualifying visa, and it can lead to citizenship. The UAE does not offer traditional PR but has long-term renewable visas - like the Golden and Green Visas - for skilled professionals and investors, which are self-sponsored and require meeting specific criteria. The process and rights differ between the two countries.
