What is the difference between temporary and permanent residence?

The main difference between Temporary and Permanent Residency is the length of time for which they are valid. For example, if you have Temporary Residence, you can only reside in the country for a set amount of time. Usually, this is issued for reasons such as studying and work, and they may need to be renewed or extended upon their expiry. On the other hand, Permanent Residency gives you the right to reside indefinitely in the country, like citizens.
