A
Before Foundation
There is currently no activated internal residence regime in Candeia. This page documents the proposal for a future stage; no current registration grants that status.

Digital residence
Digital residence is an internal status envisaged for a future stage of Candeia. It is not activated in pre-alpha and is not currently a requirement for access to the system.
In summary
The essentials
Residence is a civil status separate from citizenship. Because Candeia's territory is exclusively digital, the residence described here is an internal link within the ecosystem; ordinary acquisition requires age 18 and does not alter a visa, tax domicile or immigration status in any country.
Two legal stages
Pre-Foundation × post-Foundation
D
After Foundation
After Foundation and the adoption of organic legislation, the Residence module may process acquisition, maintenance and loss of status within Candeian jurisdiction.
Residence is a distinct status
It is not citizenship
A resident may hold fundamental and social rights linked to residence without thereby acquiring citizenship or political rights.
It is not external immigration
Digital residence in Candeia is an internal status. It does not alter a visa, tax domicile or immigration status in any country.
It does not disappear without due process
Involuntary loss requires an exhaustive legal basis, notice, an opportunity to contest and an appeal; property, claims, defence rights and records survive the end of residence.
While Candeia remains territorially digital
The constitutional proposal requires age 18 for ordinary acquisition of digital residence. A child's presence in records of parentage, nationality, guardianship, inheritance or protection does not by itself create digital residence.
