Work Permits and Residencies are what allow you to travel between countries. A residency declares that you are a ‘resident’ (obviously) of the country, and you gain the right to work in factories there, as well as vote in parliament and leader elections, as well as build military academies. Think of it like a citizenship. The region’s education index in which your residency is will play a significant part in how fast you can level up your perks, so requesting/having your residency in a region with a level 10 or 11 education index is highly recommended. A work permit allows you to travel to the specific region or state, and work in the factories there. Think of it like a work visa. A work permit can be state-wide (can travel anywhere within the entire state), or region specific (can only travel to that specific region. To apply for a work permit or residency, first ensure that you are on the Home tab. Then click the search button on the top left corner of the screen, and type in the name of the region that you’re interested in obtaining a residency or work permit for. After selecting it, press the Actions drop-down menu, and you can request for your residency, or a work permit. Once accepted, you will be able to travel to and from the region at your own free will. In order to travel to a region in which you have a work permit or residency for, press the globe icon. Click on the region you want to travel to, then press the green Start Flight button. Confirm by pressing the green Ok button and after paying a negligible travel fee, you’ll start travelling.
