Non-Resident Spouse

A spouse of a resident or citizen who does not hold residency status themselves. The non-resident spouse may have certain rights and obligations under immigration law, and their ability to reside and work in the host country may depend on obtaining a specific visa or permit.

Etymology:

The term “non-resident” combines “non,” meaning “not,” with “resident,” derived from the Latin “residere,” meaning “to reside.” “Spouse” comes from the Old French “espouse,” meaning “a married person.”
