What are the key considerations for determining my residency classification?
• Establishment of a domicile and predominant physical presence in Oregon for a period of twelve months or more prior to the beginning of the term for which residency is sought • Financial dependence on an Oregon resident or financial independence • Primary purpose for being in Oregon other than to obtain an education • Nature and source of financial resources • Various other indicia of residency (ownership of Oregon living quarters, permanent Oregon employment, payment of Oregon income taxes, etc.) • What is meant by “domicile?” A domicile is a person’s true, fixed, and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where a person intends to remain and to which the person expects to return when a person leaves without intending to establish a domicile elsewhere.
