What exact status does accumulated residence lead to?

The sources found (UNHCR Iran and Iran’s Labour Law) describe residence documents (residence booklets, residential passports) and a work-permit eligibility exception tied to ten years’ continuous residence, but neither states what residence or immigration status -- if any -- a foreign national obtains as a target outcome of accumulating residence, in its own right.

What qualifying residence period is required and when does the period begin?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the qualifying residence period and when it begins.

Limits of the record
  • Searched all IR extractions for a qualifying residence period leading to a residence status. Labour Law Art.122(a) (ten years' continuous residence) concerns work-permit issuance, not a residence status (other via). The only 'years of continuous residence' statement (5 years, citizenship) is in f71b039f47b4af09.txt, an IMI Daily aggregator record, not an official source, and concerns naturalisation, not this permit.

Which types of residence count fully, partially or not at all where the official rules specify this?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which types of residence count towards the qualifying period.

What absence/continuity rules affect accumulation of the qualifying residence period?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the absence and continuity rules for the qualifying period.

What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?

Neither source describes how a foreign national obtains or keeps a long-term residence status, or any renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rule for such a status (as distinct from the separate one-year work-permit renewal rule elsewhere in the Labour Law).

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
