If the woman is someone whom it is permissible to marry, there is no objection to a man marrying her to obtain residency, based on the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: “A woman is married for four reasons…” and he mentioned wealth. It is stipulated that his intention should not be to divorce her after obtaining residency.
