Misuse of the authorisation to reside for studying (EMN Inform)

This EMN inform outlines approaches, experiences and best practices in monitoring, detecting and addressing the misuse of authorisations to reside in the EU for the purpose of study.

What procedures have Member States established to tackle misuse of authorisations for the purpose of study by third-country nationals?

The latest EMN inform maps approaches, experiences and best practices in addressing such cases:

  • Member States legislation provides for rules regarding the authorisation of third-country nationals to reside in their territory for the purpose of study. Member States put in place policies and practices to ensure that the persons concerned comply with these rules.
  • Methods include the validation of documents, such as passports and education certificates, and interviews to check the applicant’s language competences.
  • Cases of misuse of authorisations are often related to the purpose of employment or self-employment.
  • Important indicators for the detection of misuse of authorisations are the temporary suspension or the premature abandonment of studies by the third-country national.
  • Once detected, the misuse of the authorisation to reside for the purpose of study results in the non-renewal or withdrawal of the authorisation.
