Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's request for a permanent residence permit, ruling that his time spent studying in Germany interrupted his continuous residence in Finland. Although the applicant had previously held permits for permanent residence purposes, the court found the subsequent stay in Finland did not form a single continuous period with the earlier stay due to the interruption abroad. Consequently, the statutory requirement for continuous residence was not met, and the application for a new permanent permit was rejected.

Ulkomaalaiselle A:lle oli myönnetty määräaikaiset oleskeluluvat pysyväisluonteista oleskelua varten ajaksi 17.2.1992-30.6.1994. Hän oli opiskellut 21.3.1994-29.4.1995 välisen ajan Saksassa, joten hänen oleskelulupansa oli tuona aikana päättynyt. Tämän jälkeen hän oli oleskellut Suomessa 10.4.1995-30.6.1996 tilapäisluonteiseen oleskeluun myönnetyillä määräaikaisilla oleskeluluvilla. Pysyvän oleskeluluvan myöntämisen edellytyksiä hänen 2.5.1996 tekemänsä hakemuksen johdosta harkittaessa ei hänen Saksassa oleskeluaan edeltänyttä oleskeluaan Suomessa voitu ottaa huomioon hänen sen jälkeisen Suomessa oleskelunsa kanssa yhdenjaksoisena pysyväisluonteisena oleskeluna Suomessa.
