Can someone clarify what does Schengen residence permit imply?
score:4
In a Schengen context, residence permits are defined in article 2 of the Schengen Borders Code.
‘residence permit’ means:
(a) all residence permits issued by the Member States according to the uniform format laid down by Council Regulation (EC) No 1030/2002 ( 3 ) and residence cards issued in accordance with Directive 2004/38/EC;
(b) all other documents issued by a Member State to third-country nationals authorising a stay on its territory that have been the subject of a notification and subsequent publication in accordance with Article 39, with the exception of:
(i) temporary permits issued pending examination of a first application for a residence permit as referred to in point (a) or an application for asylum; and
(ii) visas issued by the Member States in the uniform format laid down by Council Regulation (EC) No 1683/95 ( 4 );
This definition doesn't cover Schengen short-stay visa (“type C”) as confirmed by point (a)(ii). Incidentally, a work permit does not necessarily imply a right to long-term residence.
Finally, a long-stay visa (“type D”) also exempts the holder from the Schengen visa requirement upon entry but it is not a residence permit. Article 6 of the same regulation makes a distinction between the two:
For intended stays on the territory of the Member States of a duration of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, which entails considering the 180-day period preceding each day of stay, the entry conditions for third-country nationals shall be the following:
[…]
(b) they are in possession of a valid visa, if required pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 ( 5 ), except where they hold a valid residence permit or a valid long-stay visa;
Upvote:-2
A residence permit is generally issued for stays that are longer than 1 year and are generally renewable. The conditions are based on the purpose of the stay.
