F4.5.1 Definition of 'lawfully and permanently'

People who are lawfully and permanently in a country are either:

1. 1. citizens of that country, or persons who have the right of, or permission to take up, permanent residence in that country; and
   2. actually residing in that country; or
2. living in a refugee camp in that country with little chance of repatriation.

Note: if a person is actually residing in a country in which they do not have the right of, or permission to take up, permanent residence, for the purpose of determining whether an applicant meets parent policy they are deemed to be lawfully and permanently in the country in which they were predominantly living in the last 10 years and in which they are entitled to reside lawfully and permanently.
