Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's request for a permanent residence permit, ruling that her stay in Finland was not continuous. Although she had been abroad with her husband on business, the court found the break in her residence invalid for legal continuity. Consequently, the prerequisite of continuous residence in Finland was not satisfied for the grant of permanent status.

The court held that a temporary stay abroad with a foreign spouse does not break the continuity of residence required for a permanent residence permit if the stay is not considered a genuine break in the applicant's life in Finland.

Ulkomaalaiselle naiselle oli myönnetty määräaikaisia oleskelulupia yhtäjaksoisesti ajaksi 17.4.1991-9.2.1996. Hän oli seurannut ulkomaalaista miestään ulkomaankomennukselle miehen suomalaisen työnantajan Englannissa omistamille tehtaille. Komennus oli kestänyt ajan 30.9.1994-30.9.1996, joten naisen oleskelulupa oli tuona aikana päättynyt. Suomeen hän oli palannut ajaksi 16.9.1996-27.11.1996 myönnetyllä turistiviisumilla. Pysyvän oleskeluluvan myöntämisen edellytyksiä hänen 6.10.1996 tekemänsä hakemuksen johdosta harkittaessa ei hänen komennusta edeltänyttä Suomessa oleskeluaan voitu ottaa huomioon hänen komennuksen jälkeisen oleskelunsa kanssa yhtäjaksoisena, pysyvän oleskeluluvan saamiseen oikeuttavana oleskeluna Suomessa.
