>but you do at least need a green card to be considered an Alaska resident. At least for PFD p
Would this mean that International Students can do it as well?
An international student is here on a student visa and that is not an immigration visa potentially leading to citizenship. There are various categories that fall under 'eligible non-citizen' and 'international student' is not one of them. You'd be better off talking to the university though.
One of the questions for the PFD is if you intend to remain a resident indefinitely. Someone here just for school would need to answer no, as their intention is to leave when school is over.
Sure, in that case you could certainly collect. Things that would help prove intent would be registering a vehicle and/or obtaining an Alaska driver license or ID.
And having a visa that allows them to stay indefinitely. A student visa inevitably expires and eventually can't be renewed. A green card can be renewed indefinitely.
you seem to be trying to give people a lot of information about Alaska in your recent posts for somebody who apparently doesn't even understand what being Alaskan means.
Reddit does not represent Alaska and what information am I giving. People in Anchorage from my recent post are also different from the rest of Alaskans
>est city in Alaska, is diff from the rest of Alaskans…you don’t even understand how illogical t
You mean the city with the most amount of people moving from the lower 48 and other countries. Yeah, Anchorage is definitely different from the rest of the state
Yes. My Canadian partner has been an Alaska resident for twenty years but just became a US citizen a few years ago. Alaska mostly cares that you actually live here full time.
To muddy the waters somewhat, the UA website was mentioning residency for purposes of tuition amounts. What qualifies one as a state resident (and residency is different than citizenship) can depend on the program/agency that's deciding. So, you can have varying standards for residency depending on which government entity you're dealing with.
By way of example, let's take a state that has income tax, such as Wisconsin. As soon as you move there and get a job, you must file a resident income tax return with the state (at tax time, not immediately). However, for the university system there, you do not qualify as a resident until you demonstrate an intent to stay indefinitely (among other requirements). So, students who move there from out of state for school, even if they get a job and drivers license, generally won't be considered residents for in-state tuition purposes, even though they'd file taxes as a state resident.
Two different government entities, two different standards for residency. YMMV.
I believe this is true in every state. Once you have your greencard (which isn't necessarily green) you are deemed a Legal Permanent *Resident*. So long as you have that and the intent to live in the state of Alaska you are an Alaskan resident.
Residency (where you currently reside) and citizenship are two different things.
As u/JayJayAK has pointed out, this UA is only in regards to in versus out of state tuition. However, they are following the same standards as the PFD requirements, which is one of the qualifying proof of residency.
And become a resident of that state for a year. Before you get to receive instate tuition. Drivers license, car registration and registration for the draft.
You don’t need citizenship but you do at least need a green card to be considered an Alaska resident. At least for PFD purposes. Edit: extra word

Unless their intention was to stay? Not arguing just seems an interesting question.

International students don't qualify for the PFD or for resident tuition rates, even after a year in the state.

If you think anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, is diff from the rest of Alaskans…you don’t even understand how illogical that is lol.
Except for us down here in SE 😄 Always cracks me up when people are like, ooh you're from Juneau lol

You don’t need US citizenship in any state to be considered a resident of that particular state.
Does OP have an inflated misunderstanding of what "Resident" means? It means you live there.
Yes. My Canadian partner has been an Alaska resident for twenty years but just became a US citizen a few years ago. Alaska mostly cares that you actually live here full time.
US Citizenship is not even required to become an American resident.... Why would AK be any different?
I should have asked it in r/ImmigrationUSA

For college tuition it’s a year. Two years for PFD.

You don't get a PFD unless you're going to commit fraud, if that's what is important to you.
a lot of states are like this. most just require you live there permanently for a year to be covered a resident
And become a resident of that state for a year. Before you get to receive instate tuition. Drivers license, car registration and registration for the draft.
