Changes in immigration status and purpose of stay: an overview of EU Member States’ approaches (2016)
This EMN Focussed Study provides an overview and analysis of the conditions that regulate the changes of status between different categories of third-country nationals in the 24 EU Member States.
The Study covers those migrants holding an ‘authorisation / right to stay’, who are not in an irregular situation (with the exception of applicants for international protection or other national types of protection who have received a final negative decision) and all situations where the change of status takes place inside the territory of a particular Member State without the requirement for the individual to first leave the Member State or return to their country of origin.
