2.4.5 Changes in region or residency

A player may only be a resident of a single region at any point in time, regardless of whether that has lawful status in multiple regions.
Any player who relocates to a new region, will remain resident of his or her prior region until the one-year anniversary of their relocation.

it may be an old rulebook from riot that i found on twitter so be aware

that's the date n4rrate signed for Karmine Corp, meaning that on that day he officially becomes non-import, allowing room for both him and sadhaak to feature on the same lineup for KC

But he can only be resident of one, no? Cant he still choose NA over emea in terms of residency? As i understand it is his choice now, no?

Doesn't that only apply for players with dual citizenship/permanant residency? Unless N4rrate got a citizenship somewhere in EMEA, he count as an Americas player if he chooses to come back

No. If he has dual citizenship in Americas and EMEA, he can become an EMEA player if he stays one year. Then if he chooses to come back to Americas, he would have to play as an import before converting back to Americas

The line he was referring to was in the 2022 rulebook so I assume he was just linking to the old one, the 2025 has VERY different wording

That is not in the most up to date rulebook.

Afaik N4rrate would be classified as a single resident of americas.

The rulebook states residency is defined as one of the following:
1) A citizen of a country in the league territory or holds additional citizenship rights (such as those of the EU) for that league territory.
2) A lawful permanent resident
3) The holder of other special status (eg: refugee or asylum status) in a country in league territory)

This how it should be or else imports will be folding and in couple years the league will become full of imports

This isnt actually what was changed (well it was changed a bit, but thats not the rule the screenshot is from). The line above is from what is now 2.2.4 which was changed to:

[...]
Between Seasons only, a Dual Citizen may request to change their Declared Resident Country if (a) they qualify to be considered a Resident of such country in accordance with Section 2.2.2 above AND (b) one or more of the following applies: (i) the country that the Dual Citizen wishes to switch residency to is in the same League Territory as the Dual Citizen's current Declared Resident Country; or (ii) the Dual Citizen was, during the most recent split (or most recent Season if there are not multiple splits), on the Starting Roster of a Team that belongs to the same League Territory that the country the Dual Citizen wishes to switch residency to falls within, for at least fifty percent (50%) of the average number of regular season matches played by Teams in the applicable League. [...]
