Notes

1 I have used the term “visa holder” as a general designation for all noncitizens, including tourists, who are legally resident but have currently some limitation on their stay. I include within this definition noncitizens whose permits include the possibility of applying for permanent residence but who do not yet have it, as well as those who are viewed as purely temporary residents and/or workers.
