Permanencia is an authorization for foreign nationals already in the country to extend their stay beyond the initial entry visa (often a visa on arrival).
Permanencia serves as a temporary extension for foreign nationals who have entered Equatorial Guinea, typically on a visa on arrival. While it provides work authorization for up to six months, it is not a long-term residency solution and is often used as a bridge while applying for formal residence cards. Failure to maintain this status correctly can lead to severe legal consequences.
