See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The section is headed only 'American Friendship Treaty'; no capture names the treaty, the qualifying nationality or the right it creates. Not inferred from the name.

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the bases on which the person may reside.

Limits of the record

What entry, registration or residence-document formalities remain?

The documents listed are a passport picture, a colour copy of the valid passport (all pages and bio page), a certificate of good conduct not older than 6 months for individuals aged 16 and older, and a job letter stating monthly income, working hours, position and date of employment, or a copy of the government employment contract if applicable.
